Hi there I already have my qualification in Cert IV in Leisure and Lifestyle in 2009 and now I'm thinking of doing the Diploma in Leisure and Health. Can someone please tell me what this higher qualification offers in the way of employment? Is it worth doing or would the Degree in Diversional Therapy be better?
