This course is designed for senior students who are interested in learning about or working in the Tourism Industry or are simply curious about travel and Tourism. It caters for students from year 11 to year 13 and can be used as a course to help fill credits for those with NCEA goals.
Tourism is one of the largest export earners in NZ. It creates a huge variety of jobs and there is high demand for people in the Tourism Industry.
This course develops the foundational skills and knowledge that the Tourism Industry is looking for. It is largely workbook delivered and self driven. If you choose to apply effort and focus, you could easily gain up to 20 credits over the year and broaden your understanding of Tourism as a career pathway. See the Corse Overview for topics.
NZQA-recognised credits at level 2 and 3 are available (they are Unit Standards as opposed to Achievement Standards and therefore do not reach Merit of Excellence levels of achievement).
