Vol. 473 No. 5

Written Answers. - Tourism Courses.

Tony Killeen

Question:

110 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Education the educational institutions and other bodies, excluding CERT, which train people for work in tourism; and the number of such trainees who complete courses annually. [21995/96]

A list of the educational institutions providing courses in tourism is attached, showing the number of students expected to graduate from each programme this year, and the certification being provided for the programmes.

There are 60 institutions offering post-leaving certificate courses for 2,052 students, and eight institutions providing programmes for an expected output of 934 students in the regional technical college/DIT sector. A range of these programmes is funded by my Department but provided in co-operation with CERT, the State agency for tourism training, which plays a major role in course design, quality assurance and certification.
