Being an effective learner requires a complex assortment of skills, including time management, the abilities to prioritize and multitask, strategies for studying and learning, the use of technology, social skills, maturity, and responsibility. Not all trainees possess these abilities, but a syllabus can assist in their development.

The CS.Tour trainees’ syllabus comprises the aggregate of all the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for each key competence. It is used by trainees to aid reflective learning and to guide some aspects of assessment.

Especially for the Key Competences 6 and 8 a Trainees Syllabus will be developed by MMC to support learners own study. It will serve trainees as a model of professional thinking. The Trainees Syllabus will be used by the learners during the pilot trainings of people involved in the tourism and hospitality sector in Greece and Cyprus and will be taken into account for developing the accreditation scheme (O6).

A formative assessment procedure for the evaluation of the trainees syllabus on KCs 6 and 8  will take place during the pilot implementation. This means that it will involve qualitative feedback for both trainees and trainers that focus on the details of content and performance. The overall scope is to test the sufficiency and effectiveness of the selected methodology with regards to the specific characteristics and training needs of people involved in the tourism and hospitality sector.

The developed Trainees Syllabus will be disseminated to participants through a multimedia a training tool during the Final conference and it will be published on the developed e-platform.
