Executive Diploma in Aviation & Tourism Management at a glance
The Executive Diploma concentrates on two industries, aviation and tourism, for people who already hold a degree or are working and want to move into airlines, airports, travel companies or tour operations. It covers how the industries run, the reservation and ticketing systems they use, and the communication skills their customer-facing roles demand.
It is the right choice if you want the depth of a 1-year programme focused on aviation and travel rather than hotels. Classes are taught by IATA-trained faculty at our Ernakulam South campus and include industrial visits and live expert sessions.
