    DCS in Tourism

    Start my admission process
    • Our Tourism program will help you learn all you need to know about travel, tourist attractions and creating packages.

      You’re sure to be thinking that it goes without saying... But what’s special about this program and what will really help you boost your career is that we will also teach you about communication, sales, marketing and human and financial management in the tourism industry.

    • The image shows a group of people, including both men and women, posing together for a picture. They are standing in a room, and some of them are wearing ties, suggesting that they might be attending a formal event or gathering. The group appears to be diverse, with different individuals and backgrounds represented.

      You will be able to work as a tourism coordinator, a representative for tourism companies throughout the world, or even start your own business!

    • Here are a few of the courses in your program:

      • Customer Oriented Approach in the Tourism, Hotel and Restaurant Industry

    DCS in Food Service Management

    Start my admission process
    • A smiling server in a black uniform presents a gourmet dish to a seated patron wearing a lime green shirt in a bustling restaurant.

      With our Food Service Management program, you’ll learn how to work as a Maître D’, a director or supervisor of banquets or catering, or even become the manager or owner of a restaurant or bar.

    • A chef explains dish preparations to attentive hospitality professionals gathered around a table with plated dishes.

      You will be able to manage a team of servers, chefs, hosts and hostesses, wine stewards, and so on.

      You will also have the skills to take care of sales, accounting, marketing and even restaurant operations, such as creating menus and supply management.

    • Three chefs in uniform share a light-hearted moment in a commercial kitchen, showcasing camaraderie and a positive work environment.

      Along the way, here are some of the concepts you will study:

      • Food and Beverage Service
      • Restaurant Management and Organization
      • Recipes Preparation and Menu Implementation
      • Management Software - Restaurant

    DCS in Hotel Management Technique

    Start my admission process
    • In the image, there is a man and a woman sitting at a bar, with the man pouring a drink into a glass for the woman. They are both smiling, indicating that they are enjoying their time together.

      Our Hotel Management Technique program may seem quite similar to the Food Service Management program.

      You’ll cover concepts that are essential in both domains, such as wine stewarding, food and beverage service, health and safety in the workplace, communication marketing, and hotel and food service law.

    • A man in a blue suit and a woman with an updo hairstyle are checking in at a hotel reception, greeted warmly by the smiling receptionist.

      But, as the course name suggests, you’ll also learn to manage all aspects of not a restaurant but a hotel, so that you will be capable of managing or supervising an establishment. You’ll be able to work in marketing, human resources and operations within a major hotel chain, since you’ll have learned the required concepts in these three fields.

      Plus, you’ll get the chance to put your service, mixology and customer approach skills into practice in our specialized facilities.

    • A professional female hotel receptionist smiling while using a computer at the reception desk, with a blurred background.

      Below is a look at some of the different courses you will take:

      • Front Desk Techniques
      • Housekeeping Management
      • Culinary Culture and Trends
      • Banquet and Convention Management
      • Design and Technical Maintenance
      • Front Desk Management
      • Revenue Management
      • Etc.
    • A professional receptionist at a hotel front desk is speaking on the phone, possibly assisting with a reservation or inquiry.

      P.S. You can gain experience in hospitality, and get paid as you learn thanks to our WIL – Remunerated course.

      This professional experience, which can make up almost 50% of your schedule from your first year with us, is recognized as forming part of your curriculum and your learning.
