PGCert in Leisure and Tourism Management

Leisure and Tourism Management is a one-year post-graduate certificate at Saskatchewan Polytechnic that combines the core content of two diploma programs into a single 32-week course of study. Coursework covers financial management, human resources, sales and marketing, leadership and group dynamics, business planning, and organizational behaviour, along with specific skills in hotel, restaurant, tourism, and facility management. The program is offered at the Prince Albert and Saskatoon campuses. Graduates are prepared for management roles in leisure centres, hotels, restaurants, catering companies, golf and country clubs, casinos, resorts, convention centres, and retirement communities, as well as positions with municipal leisure departments, regional tourism associations, community development organizations, chambers of commerce, sport organizations, and health districts. Admission requires a conferred bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized post-secondary institution, along with Saskatchewan Polytechnic's English Language Requirement. The delivery of this program is currently suspended until further notice.
