Thomas Cook is an old and trusted name in the field of Travel & Tourism. Initially, they started this centre of learning to train new inductees in their organization. However, perhaps seeing its potential as a business venture, Thomas Cook has developed their center of learning into a full-fledged institute, where everything about travel and Tourism is taught. In view of the foregoing, I would recommend Thomas Cook Centre of Learning for admission to anybody who wants to make career in Travel and Tourism.

It has really wide variety of courses in almost all fields of travel & tourism. These range from three months to twelve months. This institution was awarded 'Top performing IATA authorized Centre' of year 2016.

Hello,
Oracle is a database program. This course is one of the most interesting and challenging course in the database domain. It may or may not be included as a part of the syllabus of degree courses in computers. The best option is to study this course via a certification program provided by any computer training institute. Such institutes provide their own certifications. Recommending an institute for this course is a difficult job as there are a bunch of them in any city or in a metropolitan or cosmopolitan city nearest to the student's residence. Some of these might be popular, some might not be. Some could have a well-built infrastructure, others might not. The key idea is to find a good mentor who can help a student understand the fundamentals of the subject and make the student capable of finding solution to problems.
These institutes design the syllabus of Oracle as per their convenience and areas of expertise. However, to gain complete knowledge of the subject, it is recommended to option for a course certified by Oracle. The syllabuses for these courses are designed by Oracle and cannot be modified by any institute. On completion, the certificates are provided by Oracle, and not by any institute. These courses can be pursued via online self-study or via any Oracle - authorized Institute.

Hello,
Veer Narmad South Gujrat University was established around year 1965 as South Gujrat University. In 2002 it was renamed as Veer Narmad. University has a big campus of around 800 acres. It offers many courses at its campus in Surat along with different colleges affiliated to it in the six districts of South Gujrat along with union territory. But unfortunately, I could not find any reference to the course on Travel & Tourism. On the hand, Asia Pacific Institute of Management, located in Delhi started functioning around the year 1996. It's a great institute having bagged position of 11th overall in the whole of North India. This institute conducts many courses but from the website of this institute, there is no mention of any course on Travel & Tourism.To conclude I would like to confess that I'm not able to see any course related to Travel & Tourism in both of these institutes.
