Review of Tourism qualification
National Diploma in Tourism (Management) (Level 5) [Ref: 0473]
The Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation (ATTTO) has completed the review of the qualification listed above.
Date new versions published June 2012
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.
Summary of review and consultation process
ATTTO carried out the review of this qualification following indications from industry there was a need to undertake a major review of some of the tourism and travel qualifications to reflect changes within the tourism, travel, and museum industries.
Consultation with representatives from the tourism and travel industries as well as education providers began in June 2009 and an industry advisory group was formed to review the existing unit standards and qualification, and identify any changes to required skill sets for the sector. Changes to the standards and qualification were signed off by the industry advisory group in July 2010.
Main changes resulting from the review
The total credits were increased from 120 to 240 to meet requirements of a consensus of training providers that a qualification of this size would harmonize with immigration conditions for foreign students. A classification exemption was added to version 2 to allow existing candidates to complete that version of the qualification. The exemption covers the Management Subfield which was replaced by other classifications and allows candidates to complete version 2 using standards either from the expiring sub-field or from the new replacement classifications.
