Assessment
The Postgraduate Diploma assessment methods have been designed to enable students to demonstrate Level Seven outcomes for this level of qualification.
Given the broad and highly varied nature of the hospitality and tourism industry, candidates will need to demonstrate the higher-level skills and qualities specified in the Level Seven outcomes within a non-homogeneous vocational context.
Assessment involves investigative assignments, presentations and action research activities. The assessment of candidates’work is centre based, against the specified learning outcomes and directed by CTH.
To maintain the quality of these qualifications, all centres are expected to demonstrate a robust assessment system.
In order to manage the quality of assessment within approved centres, CTH carries out external marking and moderation of assessments.

All students are required to meet the terms and conditions set out by the respective awarding university and in many cases are required but not limited to meeting minimum IELTS score, work experience, admissions interview as well as additional educational requirements as a part of the application process. All progression arrangements are therefore subject to the student satisfying these additional requirements, terms and conditions. Therefore a CTH qualification just by its own will not necessarily guarantee an admission or progression.
