Aim

This two year course will provide an entry level qualification into the tourism industry and provide an insight into the skills and qualifications required to progress in the industry.

 

It will also provide students with a pathway into a Certificate IV in Tourism or Diploma in Tourism.

 

The Holmesglen tourism course has a very “hands on” approach to learning about the tourism industry. Students in both years will have the opportunity to use the latest tourism industry technology in a simulated tourism office and be trained by travel industry professionals.

 

You will learn how to prepare quotes, source airfares for domestic flights and sell tourism products and services. We also teach you how to provide great customer service and participate in safe work practices.

 

There’s even an optional Gold Coast trip to explore Queensland’s tourism industry and the operations of a theme park
