Graduate Certificate of Hospitality Management

This introductory course is designed for students new to business and hospitality management studies.

It focuses on developing a foundation of business and management principles, including the management of people and organisations, marketing and strategic planning that are relevant to those already working or intending to work in the hospitality industry.

The course is also aimed at candidates with some work experience but no formal university qualifications.
