1-year programme
Year 12 students will need to complete all five introductory Level 2 units prior to completing a selection of papers that support their individual areas of interest.

Year 13 students can complete any Level 3 units that support their individual areas of interest.

Any students studying the 1-year Tourism programme may still be eligible for the Level 2 New Zealand Certificate in Tourism (Secondary Schools). However, a considerable period of home learning will be required to complete this.

Students studying Tourism will need to be independent learners, and will complete workbooks and assessments at school. These assessments are unit standards.

2-year programme

Students are able to study Tourism over two years and, on completion of the required programme, will receive this certificate and at least 50 credits spread across both Levels 2 and 3, depending on the selected units of work.

Before beginning this course, students will be given a detailed list of the required units and the time-frame in which they are to be completed.

Elizabeth MacDonald - Tourism

Throughout this year I have been studying Tourism in the HUB. I am looking to enter the tourism industry as a flight attendant once I leave school, and the tourism course offered through the HUB has allowed me to get a good insight into this industry. I appreciate how the HUB has allowed me to learn about something that I am truly interested in, and gives me the ability to work on my own schedule, and at a pace that suits me. While being in the HUB I have learnt to be very dependent on myself, and have gained stronger time management and organisational skills. So far, I have learned about key areas of tourism, including tourists, destinations, and work roles in the industry. While learning about these, I have gained a lot of new information about the industry that I wouldn't otherwise have known. I am very happy with my decision to take Tourism in the HUB this year.

I feel that it has had a very positive impact on my confidence towards managing my learning, as well as my enjoyment of school.
