the history of how it all started to every role on the production line of the
Hospitality Industry.
What goes in to operating a successful hotel? This “all in one” course will demonstrate just that. It will take you from the very beginning by going through
the history of how it all started to every role on the production line of the Hospitality Industry. Most people who stay in hotels don’t know what it takes to make it all happen. That is why this travel and hospitality course was created, to give you that understanding beyond the experience of a guest.
We call it Tfun and make it as fun as possible. Known as “The One that takes you behind the scenes of all things travel”. Showing you how things work in the
industry gives you an insider look at everything you will need to know and how to make it all connect so things run smoothly. Working with airlines, hotels, cruises, tours and many other parts of the puzzle, we help you build your skills with terminology and live booking system examples to show you how to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together.
FYI: This is the one with a little bit of math just to let you know ahead of time, not complicated math at all but basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Math you would use in a regular day.
How do airlines decide where to fly? How do they decide how much to charge passengers? How much are they permitted to charge? How do they create the fares to travel anywhere in the world? How much do all levels of government levy on an air ticket? What can I do with that ticket once I have booked it? Why is the person sitting next to me saying they paid $400 less than I did? Are they a big liar?
Airline Tariffs and Ticketing will answer all those questions, except the last one because that could go either way really.
If we could talk about geography all day long, we would, but we have other great things to teach you too although geography is very important to our industry. You get to learn about Canada, our neighbors to the South and the rest of the world too. Where would you like to go? We’ve got it covered!
Why do lemurs live in Madagascar? Why did Rwanda outlaw flip-flops? How about delicious food and that leaning tower in Italy? Scotland’s national animal is a unicorn? Angel Falls in Venezuela is the highest waterfall in the world! There is an actual pirate’s castle in the Caribbean that I can visit?! The world is an interesting place. This course will get you excited to go and explore it.
The title of this course says it all! How do we offer effective communication in the Hospitality Industry?
By introducing new and improved techniques through practicing our current skill sets. By learning all about the technology behind it. Business Communication helps you understand the differences between casual and professional outcomes as well as developing a deeper knowledge in your current computer skills. This course was built around the importance of professionalism in any industry but focused on the world of Travel & Hospitality.
Let us show you how to use a travel booking engine. Sounds easy enough right? This is where we show you how to be a master of the Sabre and Apollo Global
Distribution Systems (GDS), the two most used travel systems in the world. This will give you the knowledge to book flights, hotels and car rentals all through one easy to use system.
With our Live Sabre Red component, you will see what happens in a live setting with real clients booking directly with airlines and hotels around the world.
Get the fares not available to the general public not even available on discount travel sites and watch how quickly everything moves. Your ability to navigate these systems will greatly help you if you want to work as a travel agent, work at an airport, with an airline call centre and many other places in the industry as they all use similar systems on a daily basis.
In this course, we help you widen your current skills by providing tips and tricks in how to provide the best Customer Service possible. We introduce different
scenarios and put them into practice by role-playing in groups. It’s interesting to learn all the different ways of dealing with various situations. Customer Service is where it all starts, and we are here to help you master this skill.
Everyone sells! Whether you are a sales associate in a car dealership or a barista working at a café … selling is in all of us! This course gets you involved in our community by introducing you to different aspects of the workplace. Building relationships, developing your career goals and showing you the different
sale techniques are all important factors to add to your portfolio. This is where you will learn it all and put it into practice!
“I’d like to get paid to travel.” That is a comment we hear a lot and becoming a flight attendant would be a good way to do that outside of being a YouTube star or influencer or winning the lottery. Flight attendants get to work hard and play hard, make all their friends jealous with their travel stories and get dozens of stamps in their passports every year. Does that sound like a career path that would be of interest to you?
We are one of the only Travel and Hospitality programs in Canada that offer a starter Flight Attendant course. We will get you ready to show the airlines that you are the best choice from among 1000’s of people who want the prestige of being a Flight Attendant.
Starting with the basics and moving on to more in-depth culinary learning is what this course is all about. It will help provide you with a better understanding of all the different terminologies and proper serving methods from a restaurant standpoint. Identifying various types of wines, beers, spirits, coffee and tea will come naturally to you in the end.
We have samplings for many of these beverages as well, which helps you learn what they taste like and the methods that go in to making the product. We set up some food tastings as well to allow you to enjoy the flavors and bring the learning to life. From the page to your belly, it’s a good way to learn!
You work hard all year to better your life, start on a new career path and as a present to yourself, you get to go on a trip with your classmates! Where do we go? What do we do? For 2024-2025 we are going back to Europe! Jealous? Good.
Want to blow up your Instagram account with iconic insta-worthy pics from places on most people’s bucket lists? Want to be the envy of all your friends who just talk about travelling? This will make that happen and you get a taste of international travel with learning as we go but plenty of free time to enjoy yourself responsibly. We will send you a postcard.
This is a graded component to our program but not mandatory for those who are unable to travel for whatever reason. We do have an alternative project to make up the hours if you are unable to come with us. We want our FAM trips to really give you a feel for travel, different cultures and foods and the worldwide opportunities available to our Travel and Hospitality grads.
