Training for Tourism (TfT) is an online resource which guides participants through a range of modules, including motivation skills, work-life balance, customer care, financial management, e-marketing and managing change.

TfT, aimed at everything from the one-person business to larger organisations, will enable staff of all levels to manage their own learning within a fun, friendly and exciting web environment.

There is no restriction on the time taken to complete modules, allowing learners to study at their own pace. An RGU certificate is awarded for each completed course.

The website includes a forum for students to chat to fellow users, industry case studies and useful contact information.

The new initiative is targeting the industry in its broadest sense, from a taxi driver collecting visitors to the city to a major company boosting the local economy and helping to help create a vibrant place in which to be located.
