STUDY AT HOME FOR A CAREER IN THE FOOD AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
Success in this industry comes first and foremost from having skills and knowledge that are in demand by clients or employers. The value in a course like this will be 90% in what you learn, and only 10% in the qualification you achieve. A diploma will no doubt catch the attention of employers when you apply for a job; but (based on years of watching the progress of graduates), it will be what you know and can do that will make the big difference to succeeding at a job interview, getting a promotion or achieving your goals in your own business.
What's different about this Diploma?
- Options to choose electives that you don't find in similar diplomas elsewhere.
- A longer, more in depth diploma than what is offered at many other colleges (Compare the duration -2100 hours -here with elsewhere). Study more, learn more, go further in your career or business.
- A stronger focus on learning (some colleges focus more on assessment than we do -but we believe that what you learn is what makes the difference)
- Exceptional tutors...compare the qualifications and experience of our staff (see staff profiles at http://www.acsedu.com/about-us/our-staff.aspx) After all, it doesn't make sense to choose where to study if you don't first know who will be teaching you.
This course is internationally accredited through I.A.R.C

How Big is the Hospitality Industry?
The hospitality industry is large and significant across a large number of countries. In some less developed countries, hospitality and tourism accounts for more thanv half of the economy; and this industry can also be amongst the largest of all industry sectors in many developed countries.

The tourism industry is large and significant across a large number of countries.
In some less developed countries, hospitality and tourism accounts for more than half of the economy; and this industry can also be amongst the largest of all industry sectors in many developed countries.
Tourism employs people in a range of situations, including:

•Booking Agents
•Tour Guides
•Tour leaders
•Activities Officers
•Event Managers
•Entertainers
•Drivers (bus, limo, etc), pilots (plane, helicopter), captains (cruise ship, sightseeing boat, dive boat, ferries, etc)
Many jobs in the tourism industry are casual and part time, with work opportunities becoming strong during the tourist season, and weak in low season.
Some people work full time in this industry, but many others do this work as a supplement to another regular job.
