Newcastle Hospitality courses all wrapped up!

At Passmores’ we are dedicated to having the finest Newcastle Hospitality Courses.
So what’s more perfect for our students in the hospitality course – First Aid.

Just imagine that you are on the front desk of a major hotel chain. Suddenly, a guest bursts into the lobby yelling for medical help; what do you do?
At Passmores’ Business College we want our hospitality students to be as well equipped as possible to enable them to meet guests’ every need. As a result, all of our hospitality students complete a first aid course. We hope that they never have to use these skills but, are confident that our hospitality students would rise to the occasion if necessary.
This year, amidst much laughter, the 2010 hospitality students of Passmores’ Business College were instructed on how to apply bandages. As you can see from the photo some of them got a little carried away!!
In a more subdued manner the students also learnt how to resuscitate, deal with burns, poisoning and seizures.
As usual, a big thank you goes to the very helpful instructor from Business Wise First Aid Training, Mr Greg Blume. His patience and obvious passion for his work made it an enjoyable learning experience for all of our Business College students.

Newcastle Hospitality Course Students visit the YHA!

 
Earlier this year our Passmores’ Business College Hospitality students enjoyed looking around and learning all about the prestigious Crowne Plaza Newcastle.
As the hotel industry is quite prominent in Hospitality, our business college knows how important having this inside knowledge is.
The students were given a very different perspective on accommodation and training, when they toured the YHA, even commenting “how big the rooms were!”.
Passmores’ hospitality course provides excellent Newcastle training, that covers international tourism, so it was very beneficial for the students to be able to see what youth hostel accommodation looks like first hand. They also had their general knowledge expanded as they were given a history lesson on how the youth hostel came about and how it operates world wide.
We hope it inspired our students to put on their hiking boots, grab a backpack and check out some other YHA around this wonderful world of ours!

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.

Hospitality courses students’ tour of local Newcastle hotel

“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.
