“We offer people who are already working within the tourism sector, or want to work in that sector, the possibility is to get their skills recognized and validated within the companies and within the working life.”
“We work within a ‘grade point’ system for our formal recognition, and until I discovered open badges there really was no other way to recognise/reward students for behaviours and skills that fell outside of formal assessment.”
