Certificate III in Tourism

If you have a passion for travel and tourism, TAFE SA's Certificate III in Tourism is your entry-level pathway into this exciting, fast-paced industry. Recommended for those new to the sector, the course asks students to complete a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Assessment (LLND) and have basic Office 365 and computing skills. Students build skills in sales and bookings, customer service, travel documentation, and domestic and international destination knowledge, completing all 4 core units and choosing 11 elective units covering areas such as cruise advice, computerised reservation systems, and social media use in a tourism context. The course is available fully online with a rolling intake and flexible, self-paced study over roughly 24 months, or through blended full-time or part-time study at the Regency Park campus. No compulsory vocational placement is required, though volunteering is encouraged to build industry experience. Concession, subsidised and full-fee rates apply depending on eligibility, and TAFE SA also offers this qualification to international students. Graduates can move into roles such as reservation sales agent, visitor information officer, inbound tour coordinator, booking agent, sales consultant or attractions attendant, working with tour operators, visitor information centres, tourism attractions, and cultural and heritage sites, or go on to further study.
