Passmores’ Correspondence Courses

Passmores’ Business College places an emphasis on producing high calibre graduates. We take pride in graduating students who have business experience, are well groomed and are up to date in their knowledge of the business sector.

As a result, we have developed Correspondence Courses which incorporate personal attention and practical experience.

Passmores’ Business College realizes that it is not possible for all students to take a year out to further their studies, hence the Correspondence Courses in addition to our full-time courses.

So, if you’re interested in a career in Human Resource Management, Events Management, Real Estate, Legal, Marketing, Media or Hospitality, why not contact us so that we can help you make a start!

First Day Jitters!

Passmores’ College of Business commenced another year on Monday 2nd February with a room full of excited and curious students.

The 2010 year started with some practical advice on how to organise study time and then the students were off to their first set of classes. By the end of the day they were keen to get home and start planning their weekly schedule!

As the week progressed it was great to see the students settling in so quickly to their new routines and already forming some great friendships.

The staffs at Passmores’ are expecting to have a great year and look forward to getting to know the students individually.

Newcastle Hospitality Courses

As we say goodbye to our 2009 Business College students, we start looking forward to meeting next year’s intake.

Our Newcastle Hospitality Course is always popular! It is an interesting and varied course which looks at training Newcastle students in both theoretical and practical elements of Hospitality. Students enjoy learning about Front Office Operations, Human Resource Management, Computer Studies and International Tourism Theory. The students also greatly benefit from practical subjects like Event Management where they, along with the other majors of Marketing Media and Legal/Real Estate, actually organize a fundraising event and have the satisfaction of presenting a cheque to their chosen charity. Always a highlight of the year!

The Newcastle Hospitality Course also includes excursions where students get to see how the large hotels work behind the scenes and includes the option to travel overseas and have an international experience.

So, if you’ve ever wondered about a career in hospitality, now’s the time to act. We would love you to be one of our 2010 Business College students.

Business College Work Experience Underway

Students from Passmores’ Business College are required to take work experience as part of their business course.

In recent years the college extended work experience from 2 weeks to 6 weeks as they found in doing so many of their students find full-time work before they even complete their Newcastle courses. This year has been no exception! Students have not yet completed their work experience and are already securing employment.

To date students have gained employment at First National Real Estate, Masons Lawyers, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley and BSI Constructions, just to name a few.

With nearly a 100% employment rate every year Passmores’ really is training Newcastle students for effective job placement!

Correspondence Course Success

Craig goes the Distance!

Congratulations Craig on graduating with a Distinction Diploma in the Event Management course. He is the very first student to enrol in the new Distance Learning Program correspondence course which opened for enrolments in 2008.

Even though the college has trained thousands of students over the years, Craig is our first to graduate through correpondence studies. Craig’s results were outstanding and he also wowed staff and charity groups when he solely raised over $ 2996.10 for ‘First Chance’, as part of his Event Management course assignment. 

“I really enjoyed putting what I learned into practice” as well as “helping the charities to raise funds”.  Craig is feeling super confident and ready to pursue the career in Events.

Well done on great results!

Hospitality courses students’ tour of local Newcastle hotel

hotel-management_150The Passmores’ Business College Hospitality and Tourism Hotel Management students recently enjoyed a tour of the Crowne Plaza Newcastle complex. The hospitality students were able to see how the hotel operates and spent time with the Human Resources staff.

“Being able to provide these types of tours for the hospitality and tourism students is a fantastic way for them to see the industry at work first hand” said Cristen Cable, Public Relations & Administration Manager for the Business College.

A fun and informative day was had by all.

The hospitality and marketing students are now eagerly awaiting confirmation of their Melbourne educational excursion as are our Real Estate and Legal Students looking forward to their Sydney excursion late June or early July.
