Having worked for several years in travel and tourism, I enrolled in the course as a refresher. To my surprise, I learned more than I anticipated. The course material is informative, interesting to read and not boring. The flexibility to study at my own pace was a plus. I highly recommend the course for anyone interested in learning the basics of travel and tourism or as a refresher course to existing skills.
