Saskatchewan Polytechnic's revamped and reimagined Recreation and Tourism Management (RTM) diploma program gives you the knowledge and skills you need to create, deliver and manage these experiences.

The RTM program prepares you to join their ranks with applied learning in:

  • basic business and computer skills

  • leadership and management skills
  • 195 hours applied, practical learning
  • fund development and partnerships
  • group tours, guiding and local capital
  • municipal tourism management

  • sport management

The revamped RTM curriculum puts even more emphasis on applied learning opportunities, including an innovative service industry lab, Indigenous knowledge sharing, seasonal camps and onsite learning at Wanuskewin Heritage Park.
