Step Up Concept
Our Step Up facility uses a point system which allows persons with little or no C.X.C/O’ Level passes to register for foundation and Certificate courses at the Institute. In as little as two or three semesters they can qualify for admittance to a degree programme.
To be eligible to Step Up you should:
- be at least twenty one (21) years of age before the date of application,
- have a Secondary School Leaving Certificate, and
- have at least two years of relevant work experience in the hospitality or tourism industry.
To apply, submit a completed Application Form with your resume and two (2) references – one (1) professional and one (1) character. All Step Up applications are evaluated on a case by case basis so there will be an interview with our Admissions Panel. Upon acceptance, you will be automatically registered for the Foundation Math and Foundation English courses.
Certificate programme students who complete their course of study and would like to Step Up to the Associate Degree programme must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
- Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00.
- Grades of B- and above in all core courses.
- Recommendations from lecturers.
You then apply by submitting a formal request for promotion to an Associate Degree. The Academic Committee will review all documentation received.
