Cth – Gold Standard Qualifications for Hospitality, Culinary & Tourism

At CTH, our core mission is to provide the highest standard of qualifications. We achieve this through robust monitoring supported by industry, universities and the UK government regulator, Ofqual. CTH is also a member of the Federation of Awarding Bodies.

CTH Management Programmes offer an excellent alternative, or complement to, university study in hospitality and tourism.

Graduates of these programmes typically aspire to management roles, whether at junior trainee level for those completing Level 4 Diploma level or at senior postgraduate level for those completing the Level 7 Diploma.

Each programme is specifically geared to a particular learning outcome. For example, the Level 5 Advanced Diploma is an ideal pathway course for centre’s seeking to run a full university ‘top-up’ final year, while the Level 6 Professional Diploma offers a complete integrated degree level learning package in itself.

Cth Qualification Pathway

Cth Level 4 Diploma

Applicants who have completed their Ordinary (O/L) or Advanced Level (A/L) Examinations or Level 3 qualification can enter into the Level 4 Diploma. The course aims to provide students
with an understanding of the fundamental operational aspects and a knowledge of the key management principles involved.

Cth Level 5 Advanced Diploma

Entry is available to graduates of the CTH Level 4 Diploma or equivalent approved qualification.
The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the managerial, decision making and leadership aspects of the industry. In addition it is also designed to develop independent research and study skills required when working at senior managerial level in
the industry. It is therefore an excellent preparation for either entry to the workplace or as a springboard into final year bachelors degree level study.

Cth Level 6 Professional Diploma

Admission to this programme is open to those students who have completed an appropriate Level 5 qualification in a relevant subject, such as a CTH Level 5 Advanced Diploma or a relevant HND.
The CTH Level 6 Professional Diploma is designed to be equivalent to most of the final year of a bachelor’s degree. This programme is CTH’s ultimate undergraduate level award and has been expressly designed to provide equivalent learning to that provided
by much of the final year of a British university bachelor’s degree programme in hospitality and tourism.
