About CTH

Our history

Over the last 40 years, CTH has focused on developing and adding value to careers globally in the Hospitality, Culinary & Tourism industries. Established in 1982 as a specialist professional awarding body, our mission is to focus on the training needs of new entrants and existing industry professionals.

We now have a network of over two hundred Approved Teaching Centres worldwide delivering industry-relevant CTH qualifications to thousands of new students each year.

What makes us a specialist awarding body?

Like any awarding body, we do not actually teach the CTH qualifications ourselves, we offer them to be taught and studied at the teaching centres that we approve. However, unlike many other awarding bodies, we focus purely on Hospitality, Culinary and Tourism.

This focus and the vast industry experience of our staff, has allowed us to become experts in these sectors, whilst the value of us working alongside key industry partners gives a superior level of experience and support to our teaching centres.
