Combined Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Diploma Level 4 + English Language Programme (12 months)
Studying a subject in English (as opposed to studying the English language itself) can be a very daunting experience for non-native speakers. For this reason we have designed a 12 month (2 x 24 weeks) programme that combines English language study with the Diploma Level 4 in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management. This course is aimed at students who feel that they would benefit from more language support in the initial stages of their college course.
Students will study for the Diploma Level 4 in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management (2 Modules taken in each 24-week segment) but will be able to top up their programme with additional modules from the Mayfair School of English curriculum, including Business English, IELTS for LIFE and IELTS for STUDY. Having gained the Diploma Level 4 qualification they will then be eligible to progress fully within the Mayfair College curriculum by studying for the Diploma Level 5 and 6.
