Developing future management talent for the industry. CTH Management Programmes offer an excellent alternative, or complement to, university study in hospitality and tourism.
Graduates of these programmes typically aspire to obtain management roles, whether at junior trainee level for those completing Level 4 Diploma or at senior level for those completing the Level 7 Executive Diploma.
The Level 4 Diploma in Hospitality Management aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the operational aspects of the international hospitality industry and a knowledge of the underlying principles involved.
This is a substantive management programme, typically delivered over a nine month period in the case of full-time students. CTH Level 4 courses combine practical career-based elements with a number of essential management disciplines that will be invaluable as the individual’s career progresses. The course therefore provides the practicality needed for the workplace with the theory needed to advance in management roles and in education.
Students who complete the Level 4 may use it as a pathway to advanced study, typically progressing on to the CTH Level 5 Advanced Diploma. Since the Level 4 Diploma is designed to be broadly equivalent to that of the first year of a bachelor’s degree, students may use the qualification to apply for credit entry to a number of bachelor degree programmes at selected universities worldwide. However, the course is ideal preparation for immediate employment in the sector.
The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the managerial, decision-making and leadership aspects of the hospitality industry. In addition it is also designed to develop independent research and study skills required when working at senior managerial level in the industry.
Therefore, the Level 5 Advanced Diploma is an excellent preparation for either entry to the workplace or as a springboard into final year bachelors degree level study.
This programme is CTH’s ultimate undergraduate level award and has been expressly designed to provide equivalent learning to that provided by a British university bachelor’s degree programme in hospitality and tourism.
In fact, graduates of this programme are able to convert their award into a recognised British university bachelor’s degree from Binary University or BPP University College simply by completing an additional dissertation.
The programme is designed as 120 credit qualification in international hospitality and tourism management, covering all the key management skills required for a management career in the sector. Students will attend a course of study of not less than 420 Guided Learning Hours comprised of a mixture of tuition and guided self-study.
