Making the Decision

1. Make sure the school meets the educational requirements set forth by both the Tourism and Education Departments. Apart from the school being accredited, their training programs should also be licensed and accredited.
2. What is covered by your tuition fee? There are schools that offer training packages which includes all necessary supplies for the training, extra/peer help, classroom lectures, and of course actual on-the-road training exercises. Make an effort to study their quote and compare offers.
3. Will the program or school bridge continuity, or guarantees? If you’re undergoing training to be able to find a job, a school that offers a bridging program or an employment position after you obtain your license is the best option. If the school is able to assist with job placement, then there’s lesser time wasted.
