The British University of Cambridge has granted both Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) and Hospitality Training Solutions (HTS) a full center accreditation.
In a press release, the DTCM said that the accreditation was awarded after a quality audit and now permits the DTCM to offer an international career award in travel and tourism.
The accreditation, according to the statement, provides a unique opportunity for those interested in a career in travel and tourism to gain a widely acknowledged, international qualification while developing practical skills in a range of travel and tourism-related work roles.
Khalid bin Sulayem, the DTCM director general, said that “Training Solutions, in a very short span of time, has established itself to better ensure that Dubai's tourism and hospitality sectors are equipped to consistently deliver world-class levels of service. The division, with this major accreditation, will be recognized as the leading center for travel industry training and will match the industry-focused base that embraces the very core of Dubai.”
The DTCM had earlier achieved external accreditation for a number of its courses through the United Kingdoms' Business and Technology Educational Council (BTEC), part of Edexcel Foundation, one of the world's largest vocational and academic educational bodies.
Providing industry specific training forms part of the DTCM’s drive to raise overall standards of service in the industry – Albawaba.com
