This course aims to prepare students for a career in the Travel and tourism industry and allow them to develop transferable and higher-order skills. The program of study is designed to introduce the theory behind tourism as a business specialism and to prepare for further study in higher education. Alongside this, students gain the practical project management skills associated with the research of four chosen project topics. The course is modular in format with an option to take the single award, equivalent to one A Level, or the combined double award, equivalent to two A Levels. Students will benefit from a genuine interest in the travel business, news, and current affairs, especially events that relate to the tourism industry. An interest in geography is also very useful. This course is very dependent on the student’s self-directed study and the creation of coursework portfolio units. This course calls for students to be very self-disciplined. The presentations that are given also require students to be prepared to develop their ability to write clearly and express ideas one-on-one and in larger groups. As such, the ability to work well in private study and as a member of a team is a very big advantage.
