Successful completion of this qualification will equip learners with the specialist skills and technical terminology to develop their management skills and progress to further study or employment.

The Extended Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management consists of 12 mandatory modules for a total of 240 credits, 2400 hours of Total Qualification Time (TQT), and 1200 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) for the completed qualification.

The qualification is designed to be delivered over two academic years for full-time study but is flexible to accommodate part-time and distance learning. The lectures, tutorials, seminars, and distance online are delivered face-to-face.

Progression

Learners who complete the Extended Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management are eligible for various academic advancement opportunities, such as the OTHM Level 6 Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management. In addition, students can also get direct entry into the final year of the BA (Hons) in Tourism and Hospitality Management program because this qualification has been approved by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation).

The institute assesses all units in the Tourism and Hospitality Management Top-up Degree internally, and OTHM verifies them externally. The qualifications are criterion-referenced, meaning they are dependent on meeting all of the learning objectives. To receive a ‘pass’ for a unit, students must show that they have completed all of the learning objectives and met the requirements set out by all assessment criteria. During their studies, our students will work on tourism and hospitality projects. To help with this, King’s will teach students how to promote Tourism and Hospitality ties among relevant sectors, which will be useful for people wishing to start a business. The Assessor determines if the learners have met the assessment criteria effectively.
