Tourism and Hospitality are among the growth industries of the world, with more and more jobs on offer. Covering a wide range of occupations in different organisations - many of them overlapping they offer the opportunity of an interesting career with many opportunities to progress. The Association of Tourism and Hospitality Executives provide the highest quality courses in both Tourism and Hospitality. These courses are short and effective. They are designed to provide the basic knowledge required to start or get established in the industry.  We are also approaching a large number of organizations in the hospitality and tourism industry for either accreditation or to provide them with knowledge of the qualifications.

 Certified Development Programme

This is a programme of short courses that has two objectives, firstly to provide an introduction to a sector of the industry and secondly to give a person a qualification. The first of these was the Certified Hotel Professional CHP), the second is Certified Tourism Professional (CTP). Others will follow in all sections of the tourism and hospitality industry during the next few weeks and months.

 A few questions and answers:

What is Certified Tourism Professional?
The Certified Tourism Professional designation represents someone who has achieved competence in tourism skills required to add value, drive business performance, and build quality practices within organizations. The CTP credential indicates a commitment to excellence based on a strong, ethical foundation and dedication to lifelong learning.

Who is it suitable for?

We have recognised at least two groups of potential students.

The first ones are those that are starting working in the industry without any recognised qualifications but are keen to learn and have knowledge of the industry.

The second group are those who have already taken courses elsewhere, often in non UK countries but are keen to obtain a UK accredited qualification. In this instance the course that the student has taken can be mapped against CTP.

What Are The Benefits of Being a Certified Tourism Professional certificate holder?

Earn professional recognition from your employer and colleagues

Distinguish yourself with 'CTP' after your name on your business card and curriculum vitae.

Position you to compete and succeed in the global workplace
