Certificate
The Certificate III in Tourism course offers many exciting career opportunities including tour guiding, travel agency and hotel reception. This program will provide you with the knowledge and skills you needed to begin your career in travel and tourism, a fast-growing, dynamic industry.
To be eligible, students must be at least 16 years of age.
Learners will need to have the confidence and the ability to learn new software applications.
Prior to enrolment or commencement of training you will be required to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment and a pre-training interview.
These will assist with determining your suitability to the course, verify your training plan, and identify any learning support needs.
You will learn how to lead tour groups, check in guests at a hotel, and about tourism products and services, and how to sell and quote to clients. You will use an industry booking system to book domestic and international flights and issue air tickets and learn all about the cruise industry, even gaining membership to the cruise industry association CLIA.
You'll study in Holmesglen's simulated tourism office, which showcases the latest industry software so you can complete your studies in live airline reservations, fares and ticketing using the industry system Amadeus.
You may be able to reduce the number of units to be studied in your chosen course by measuring skills acquired through work, life experiences or qualifications obtained from formal studies or training. AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by another registered training organisation will be recognised by Holmesglen.
