Students in the first year of the study plan follow the syllabus of the Certificate in Hotel and Tourism Industry Management. This introduces the concept of Hotel and Tourism Management, examines the practical, business functions of a hotel from a supervisor/junior management perspective, tourism management, European culinary and restaurant service and management.

Students will also have an understanding of the social and economic environment in which hotels operate and the role of organizations within that environment. Moreover, they will gain an understanding of both restaurant services and European culinary techniques.
Second year
The second year builds on the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired at the first year. The emphasis here is on the operation of a hotel from a departmental manager’s perspective and consequently the syllabus has a substantial business administration contents. Students also have to understand the theory and practical of restaurant services and management together with European culinary and tourism management. As with the final year of the degree, assessment is on the basis of coursework as well as examination.
