To develop an understanding of contemporary issues in tourism, hospitality and business management. Prepare you for a career in the tourism and hospitality industry with a solid foundation of skills and knowledge in tourism, event management, customer relationship management and hotel management.
A dual qualification gives you the opportunity to combine two different nationally accredited diplomas into the one comprehensive program. This unique course design allows for dual qualifications to be studied in a shorter period of time than completing two separate qualifications at a reduced cost and without any loss in quality. Each competency unit is nationally accredited and on completion of the dual qualification program the student receives two separate nationally accredited diplomas.
The Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality is a programme consisting of modules that reflect both contemporary and pertinent issues in the tourism and hospitality industry. The programme attempts to impart critical and useful knowledge and skills through a mixture of innovative delivery and learning methods. The diploma also acts as a useful platform for learners to embark on higher education within the business, tourism and hospitality disciplines, through the relevant topics studied throughout the programme. This innovative programme is suitable for learners who wish to learn more about tourism and hospitality in a business, social and sustainability related approach.
With an ever changing job market where we regularly see old employment opportunities disappear and new ones suddenly appear we are confident that our dual qualification graduates will be successful irrespective of the potential rise in unemployment and uncertainty of their current employment position.
Earning a dual qualification can provide you with an interdisciplinary education that allows you to build a career in more than one vocational area as you will be qualified in a manner that few professionals are. GCS offers an extensive choice of dual vocational qualifications that will fit any student interested in making themselves more marketable in the current job market. It also provides you with skills to build your own business or expand your existing business or employment opportunities.
Dual qualifications can provide an opportunity for students to broaden their network and opportunities. Combining professional units with areas of specialization can help establish the student as an expert in a niche, open new opportunities or just give that professional edge. Pursuing two qualifications at the same time can reduce the overall course fees as well reducing the time taken in comparison to completing two qualifications at a different time. Dual qualifications allow credit transfers of units where two programs overlap with electives and same core units.
According to Graduate Careers Australia, “graduates with dual qualifications (85.5%) are more likely to have found permanent employment than those with single qualifications”. This is partially due to employers valuing graduates who possess a wider education encompassing more than one specific area of study. With a new emerging business and economic landscape comes new ways to do business. Employers are now required to employ people who can develop, deploy and use a new set of tools and skills in an increasingly connected world. These changes have driven the need for employees to possess a more general skill set that will now address the employment requirements of a more diverse business community that has become part of the global village. To the business community, students who are enrolled in specific single discipline degree/diploma programs are no longer as appealing as those who have an expertise across a number of key areas.
Graduates of dual qualifications are recognized by employers as having the ability to adapt their skills to new settings as they can offer a greater range of experience. These graduates also have a higher visibility in a pool of job candidates. This visibility might also give the prospective employee more leverage when it comes to negotiating salaries and/or promotions as well as some form of career protection in the event of staff terminations.
GCS Diploma prepares you to go for CTH Level 4 international examinations which allows you to apply for 2nd year Degree ‘top-up’ courses at several UK Universities. A step-by-step progression towards the goal of a Degree, with the flexibility to step away into the world of work mid-way and the benefit of a recognised qualification.
