Senior roles across the travel and tourism industry. Common positions include Travel Consultant, Visitor Information Officer, Tourism Assistant, Tour Guide, Customer Service Team Member, and Cruise Ship Staff. The Diploma is also widely used by people running their own travel or tourism businesses to formalise the skills they're already applying day to day.
The full range: travel agencies, tour operations, cruise lines, inbound tour operators, visitor information centres, hotels and resorts. The 23 units cover everything from industry knowledge and destination advice through to financial management, leadership and workplace safety, so the qualification works across all major travel and tourism workplaces.
No formal entry requirements. The Diploma sits at the senior end of the SIT travel and tourism stream so most students arrive with either a Cert III or IV qualification, or a few years of operational tourism experience. You'll need access to a travel or tourism workplace context to apply the learning during the course.
Fee for Service for the Diploma of Travel and Tourism Management is $5,290 with a $1,500 deposit and Ezidebit payment plan. We'll talk through your situation and any other available pathways during your enrolment call.
The standard duration is 12 months. With 23 units, this is one of our larger diplomas, but most students complete in the standard timeframe while working in industry. The pace is flexible, study faster if you can, take a bit longer if you need to. Just let your trainer know what fits your schedule.
Both. Our training is delivered nationally via our online platform, and we also deliver face-to-face in workplaces across Metro and SE QLD. Many students do a combination of online learning and in-person workplace assessment. The qualification is the same either way.
The Diploma is recognised by many universities for credit toward a Bachelor of Tourism, Business, or related degree. Credit varies by provider, but many travel and tourism graduates use the qualification as a stepping stone into Bachelor-level study. We'll talk through the options on your enrolment call.
