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!

And the Award goes to . . .

Passmores’ Business College Graduation Ball 2009

Having never attended a Business College Ball before, I was a little uncertain as to what to expect.  How would the evening unfold, what would people be wearing, would it be long and tedious or would the evening fly by?

It turned out to be the latter!  The evening started with a flurry of students turning up in the most amazing gowns.  Our female students looked like they had just stepped off the catwalk and the guys looked great in their suits and ties.

It was also lovely to meet the families of our students and to put names to faces.

We then sat down for a lovely three course meal and enjoyed the beautiful decorations put together by our staff and students.

The formal part of the evening commenced shortly after our meal and was, for me, the highlight of the evening.  We heard several speeches from staff and distinguished guests, all of which were inspiring in different ways, and then had the pleasure of seeing our students receive their diplomas and be duly rewarded for all the hard work they had put in during the year. 

It was also an opportunity to acknowledge students who had excelled in different areas during their year at Passmores’ Business College.

As a member of staff I found the evening particularly encouraging as I reflected on how much these young men and women had grown during the year in terms of their personal development and poise.  The 2009 Business College graduates would be an asset to any employee!

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.

Passmores’ Business College Graduation Ball

Passmores’ student and staff are all eagerly looking forward to the annual Graduation Ball to be held on Thursday 3 December. It is an exciting evening as students receive their diplomas. Special awards are also given out in recognition of students who’ve achieved highly in different areas of their Hospitality, Legal/Real Estate and Marketing courses. It is a great opportunity to celebrate with family and friends; a time to reflect on how much they’ve achieved in just one year.

The staff members particularly enjoy hearing how the student’s job seeking is going. Once again so many of our students have secured employment before they’ve even graduated!

This year is also a first, in that we are also able to celebrate with students who’ve participated in our correspondence courses. It will be a way to formally recognize all the hard work our correspondence course students have put in throughout the year.

Well done to all our students, both those who’ve completed Newcastle courses and those who’ve completed correspondence courses, another great year!
