Seeking a career that can take you places? A qualification in the tourism industry could land you employment anywhere in the world!
Certificate III in Tourism will provide you with a gateway to working in the exciting and vibrant Tourism industry. Whether you are keen to be a Tour Guide extraordinaire or research information for visitors and make their bookings, we can help you to get there.
This is a face to face on campus course and your course completion will coincide with the start of our busy Tourist season in Broome. As well as attending face to face workshops you will also be required to do approximately 20 hours per week of self paced study in your own time. This may be reduced if you have had some work experience before and are familiar with some of the content.
If you are new to the workforce or require some additional help with using computers or reading and writing you may need to commit a little more time.
This course is available at other campus locations upon request.
