If you want to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for a career in Travel and Tourism then this is the course for you!

Have you always dreamed of being an air hostess, working abroad or being a travel writer? This course would equip you with the necessary skills to go on and form a career in the industry. At the very least this qualification will improve your customer service skills, destination knowledge and business awareness, which have all been highlighted as areas of weakness in the Travel and Tourism sector.

As there are no exams the students need to make sure that they can work independently. This is a perfect way to start them off before they go to college as they learn skills that will be useful in all walks of life.
