About Course

This module examines the systems, procedures and communication practices required to manage dive centre bookings accurately and efficiently. Learners follow the complete booking lifecycle—from responding to an initial enquiry and gathering customer information to confirming reservations, collecting payments and completing the daily booking review.

 

The module covers the use of customer relationship management (CRM) and booking systems, calendars and resource controls to maximise capacity and prevent scheduling conflicts. Learners will explore the different requirements for course, fun diver and group bookings, as well as procedures for deposits, cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows and waitlists.

 

Attention is also given to forecasting demand, identifying appropriate upselling and cross-selling opportunities, maintaining accurate documentation and resolving common booking errors. Three quizzes reinforce the key concepts covered throughout the module.
