Description
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in a range of well-developed skills required in the operation of holiday parks and resorts. Work would be undertaken in a front office, housekeeping or grounds maintenance environment.

- perform clerical and other office duties
- perform specific front office duties such as reservations, reception, cashiering and other accounts work
- service and clean accommodation
