Get Ready for Adventure with Tourism Studies Ski Courses
Tourism studies offer you the opportunity to get involved in a career that could span any climate and any environment. When we think of tourism we do usually think of sun and sand, of course (who wouldn’t, with the British summer to contend with!) – but there’s an already large and still growing move in popularity towards the excitement that snow covered slopes have to offer. This year, studying for a diploma in travel and tourism is all about the ski courses.
Like the other modules of the tourism studies diploma, the ski course module is designed to introduce candidates to a free information source. The information is provided by established companies and institutions in the ski and snow tourism industry, and covers every aspect of ski tourism: from travel and bookings to working in a resort or working for a company that arranges package ski tours.
The courses are free to any candidate taking the travel and tourism diploma, and are expected not only to provide excellent information for a person studying for the qualification, but to give an invaluable helping hand in an interview situation. Where a tourism studies candidate has taken his or her ski courses, he or she will be able to attend interview with a potential snow tourism employer, armed with plenty of in depth knowledge about the industry as a whole and the company in particular.
The information held in these courses is also intended as a resource for teachers. That, of course, means that both students and teachers are working from the same material, which conveniently held online, gives students no excuses for having misplaced their books or course notes!
Because the courses are free, potential candidates for work in the snow tourism industry can take them at any time. Anyone definitely looking for a career in the industry would therefore be well advised to take all of the ski courses he or she can fit into his or her study schedule. Once he or she gets to interview stage, the fact that he or she has taken so many relevant tourism studies courses off his or her own bat will recommend him or her very highly to a putative employer. Taking courses on your own initiative is clear evidence of a dedication and a work ethic that a simple qualification (which, after all, is more evidence of an ability to complete work you have no choice but to do) can’t match.
Taking a tourism studies diploma is of course evidence in itself that a person is interested in working in that field. Taking targeted ski courses, when that person is interested in getting work on one of the resorts, or for the companies that put the ski trips together, is evidence of the kind of direction and ambition that candidates need to show in order to get themselves in ahead of the competition.
From the Alps to the Rockies, the powder is becoming as popular as a golden beach. Get in early with the right course and you could be looking at a dream job.
