This course has been designed to inspire you to consider a career in the travel and tourism sector or in a related sector where knowledge of travel and tourism will be of use, such as airlines and travel agents. It will give you the opportunity to gain a broad understanding and knowledge of, and skills in, the travel and tourism sector, e.g. itinerary building and route planning.It will also support your progression to a more specialised travel and tourism course at degree level or an apprenticeship in the travel industry or, more broadly, to qualifications in other areas. It will give you the potential opportunity, in due course, to enter employment within a range of job roles across the travel and tourism sector.
You will need to achieve at least Grade 4 in English Language and Maths. If you have a Grade 4 in Geography that would be helpful but certainly not essential.
Units 1 and 2 are examined via written examinations and Units 3 and 9 via portfolios. The Unit 1 exam is a traditional examination. The Unit 2 exam is a little different, with a pre-release resource pack that students have three weeks to scrutinise and interrogate. Unit 3 is a portfolio based on marketing and Unit 9 is a portfolio based on two visitor attractions.
