Hi There,

After diploma, i would have to move on to Advanded Diploma in Management

Operations Management


TMC

After diploma, have to move on to Higher Diploma

Financial aspects of Hospitality Travel and Tourism
ICT in the Hospitality Industry
Communication Management in the Hospitality Industry
Event Management
Casino Management

For course structure wise, i would definitely prefer TMC. but not sure whether it's recognize as compared to Kaplan. As Kaplan is more expensive than TMC too.

Any recommendation or suggestion on which school to pick?

TMC has edutrust certification but kaplan doesn't.
but for tourism, UNLV and TMIS are still the top choices.

Is edutrust really impt ??

i think so

Kaplan diploma-10 months awarded by kaplan
kaplan degree- 16 months awarded by Murdoch uni

tmc diploma-6 months awarded by tmc
tmc higher diploma-18months awarded by uni of Cambridge
tmc degree will be roughly about 16 months

Tmc's course structure is better I guess. But takes longer route and ofcourse cost about $4k different from kaplan. Kaplan will take shorter route but course structure not as interesting as tmc. Tmc have edutrust. If you will me, which will u choose???
