Business and Hospitality

Our career-focused BTEC Business Management and Hospitality course is designed for students seeking a more experiential approach to learning. Created in consultation with academics, our two-year Level 3 programme also supports progression into higher education.

BTEC units cover a variety of business areas, including HR, accounting, management, retail, and marketing. The course also includes a work experience unit, which enables our learners to gain practical, hands-on experience in the sector. We work closely with the Abu Dhabi Hospitality Academy – Les Roches, for example, to offer outstanding opportunities in top hotels. The course also reinforces our link to Switzerland through exciting placements in the Swiss hospitality industry.

BTEC Extended Diploma in

Sport and Business Management

Our partnership with Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club gives IBCP students in Business and Sport Management the opportunity to experience the sports and hospitality industries first-hand.

Through practical sessions, expert-led learning and real-world projects, students explore sports management, business strategy, event management and entrepreneurship. They gain hands-on experience in golf coaching, golf simulators and data-driven technologies, discovering how innovation can enhance performance, guest experiences and business operations.

Students also explore sports nutrition and experience other club activities, including padel and tennis. Through the on-site Park Hyatt hotel, they gain insight into hospitality operations and how different teams work together to deliver exceptional guest experiences.

This immersive experience helps students develop practical skills, professional networks and a deeper understanding of the industry, preparing them for future study and careers in sports management, coaching, marketing, business and hospitality.
