- Overview
We are proud that our students can work both independently and as part of a team, in both academic and practical situations. Our students complete 14 days on an industry placement within the tourism sector, gaining a valuable insight and first-hand experience of the day to day running of the business and their customers. This enhances their learning and confidence – which positively impacts their grades. Our course is 100% coursework and comprises of a number of written and practical assessments all of which are carefully designed to enhance knowledge, grow academic understanding and develop key transferable skills.

- Entry Requirements
For our Level 3 Advanced Vocational courses our entry requirements are a minimum of 5x GCSEs at Grade 4, Maths or English Language/Literature at Grade 4 and Grade 3 in the other subjects.
Please note, some courses and subjects will have additional specific entry requirements or require DBS clearance to undertake placements. Information about this can be found in our course leaflet (available to download above), the Apply Portal, and on your offer letter which you will receive after your interview.
Students must have an interest in working within the travel and tourism area as opposed to simply enjoying travelling on holiday or wanting to live or work aboard. A positive attitude and friendly nature (customer service) is essential in the travel and tourism industry. Students will need to display this and develop confidence through the course.
Educational trips are essential to expand students’ understanding of the industry. An initial payment will need to be paid at the beginning of your course for mandatory activities.
