Chartered Institute of Tourism & Hospitality

General information

Want to get into tourism, hospitality, hotels, or the food industry – and have ambitions of working internationally?

Now you can study a UK-based qualification in these fields here in South Africa.

ITHSA accredits and supports southern African training providers in offering qualifications from the British-based Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH).

These internationally-recognised courses cover tourism, hospitality, travel, culinary arts, and leadership, entrepreneurship and English for the tourism and hospitality industry.

You can choose from a range of short courses through to post-graduate level qualifications.

The qualifications are endorsed by high profile brands like Virgin Atlantic; the Star Alliance; the Tsogo Sun, Radisson, Sheraton, Hilton and other hotel groups; and many more.
