About the Course
This is a new and exciting course at the College which has been developed to help students gain a high quality, industry recognised qualification in Travel and Tourism. You will develop skills in travel and tourism in a modern and practical way.

The full qualification consists of six units. There are no exams in the course but each unit has an assignment which has to be completed and then assessed by your tutor. All units are graded separately and then once all six units are complete you will receive a full award certificate graded pass, merit or distinction

The first four units are Exploring Travel and Tourism, Dealing with Customers in Travel and Tourism, Investigating Tourist Destinations and Promoting Travel and Tourism. During these units, observation of a real life Travel and Tourism business is useful and to facilitate this each student will be given a relevant work experience placement in the local Travel and Tourism industry.

A further two units are chosen from a list of optional units such as Investigating Visitor Attractions, Investigating Package Holidays and Using Technology and the Internet for Travel and Tourism.

As you would expect from a course of this nature there will be the chance to go on trips and visits to tourist attractions and Travel and Tourism related businesses.

The qualification can lead to employment in call centres, travel agencies, hotels and restaurants, holiday companies and tourist information. Alternatively there is the opportunity for progression to level 3 Travel and Tourism at the College.
