Description

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in a broad range of highly-developed technical tourism sales and marketing, operational or tour delivery skills. The qualification allows for multi-skilling or for specialisation in a limited range of skills that specifically relate to either tourism operations or marketing coordination.

Work would be undertaken in an office environment where the planning of tourism products and services takes place, in the field where tourism products are delivered or a combination of both. The field includes any destination, local or regional area, tourist precinct, site, attraction or onboard form of transportation.

The qualification reflects the role of individuals who use well-developed skills and a broad knowledge base in a wide variety of contexts. They apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others.

The qualification is suitable for an Australian apprenticeship pathway.

Job roles

Individuals with this qualification are able to work in any sector of the tourism industry as senior personnel or supervisors. Tourism industry senior personnel will often specialise in certain fields; most often in operational functions or marketing roles.
