Tourism is fast emerging as one of the major job providing sectors, more and more educational institutions have come up with academic programmes in the field. Realizing the potential of the sector, we have introduced an Advanced Diploma course as a result of demand for students who have taken the diploma who prefer to take a further course with us and then go on to management or to a second or third year at University..

 On completion of this Level 5 course students can apply for a BA Tourism Studies degree at Anglia Ruskin University as well as other Higher Education establishments. Students can also apply to go directly to Coventry University to take a Tourism Management degree. It is not guaranteed but some universities will accept students on to year 2 or 3.

How will you take the course?

We prefer our students to attend one of our centres available in many countries. You will then get the personal attention and be able to meet other students. However, that is not always possible and an excellent alternative will be to take the course directly with ATHE or one of our approved centres using online resource. Some of the advantages of this type of learning is -

1. It is flexible and allows you to select the best time to study to suit your own circumstances. It also provides you the flexibility to remain in full-time employment. You can continue to earn while you learn. It is easy to combine home and work life with distance learning?
2. You can study when and where it suits you best and you do not need to attend timetabled lectures or tutorials. You can also if need be take a study break or defer your studies for a short while.
3. As a distance learning student, you will be registered as a student of the Association of Tourism and Hospitality Executives. On completion of the course you can become a full member.
4. You can contact your local tutor for assistance and advice anytime. Any additional support is included in the normal cost of the programme.  

What will happen:

As soon as you have received your course and username/password you can start your online studies. There are no time limits to complete the course. You will be able to look at typical questions so that you can have an idea of the level required.

Your tutor whether at a center or online will continually guide you through the course. You will need to complete the whole course to obtain an ASET Diploma. However if for some reason you are unable to do so, you will get an ATHE certificate for any succesfully completed module.

Delivery of course:

The delivery of the course will be subject to facilities and teachers available at the centre but normally we would expect the mandatory units to be completed first. That is not essential however and you can take any optional unit after completion of the first unit, again subject to centre approval.
