Since 1976 Hayton has looked for and developed flexible delivery methods to enable busy people to gain real work place skills and qualifications in a way most suitable to their learning requirements and busy work and/or life schedules.

With the start of the internet, Hayton was the first travel industry training college in Australia and one of the first worldwide, to see the possibilities and opportunities for the flexible delivery that this medium allows. Our GDS (Global Reservation Systems) or CRS (Computer Reservation Systems) and IAT AFare & Ticketing Courses are interactive online programmes engaging students from the first screens of the courses.

Hayton online courses are not  static, students actually read about what they will do in a REAL workplace situation and then they actually DO IT – as if they were working.  Ideally suited to Travel Industry Training where employees work in computer reservations systems each day, our online learning (e-learning) is the most effective way to develop and increase tourism skills and knowledge!

The Learning Management System

The LMS or Learning Management System is a highly sophisticated tool which tracks students:

1. Log in time and date
2. Log out time and date
3. The number of screens looked at each log in
4. Quiz Scores
5. Assessment Scores
6. Number of Quiz Attempts
7. Number of Assessment Attempts
8. Quiz and Assessment Feedback

Inside the Learning Management System (LMS) is tool which makes it possible to keep track of a student’s progress and help them acheive their training goals.

The Benefits of Online Learning:

1. Online Delivery means students can study at their own time and at their own pace from any location in the WORLD with “one on one” tutor support.

2. This means if you are working you can study in your own time at home or after work in your office and achieve the same goals – new skills and qualifications.  Certificates issued on successful completion of online courses have the same weight as classroom certification and will look impressive attached to your new CV.

3. There is a cost saving for working students as they do not have to travel and pay for room and board in another city or travel home late at night from classroom training.

4. On successful course completion you will have an industry recognised, accredited certificate which can be used as credit towards a Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales) – should you want to undertake further studies after you start work.
