Summary
This qualification is equivalent to one A-level and aims to provide learners with the underpinning knowledge required to pursue a career in the hospitality and travel industry. Examples of areas studied include Global Destinations and the World of Travel and Tourism ( both externally assessed), Visitor Attractions and the Principles of Marketing in Travel and Tourism.
How will I know how I am doing?
A variety of assessment methods will be used to measure your progress from your start point and against your expected outcomes and target grade. These may include practical tasks and assessments, written assignments, performance reviews, presentations and discussions. Progress will be discussed with your tutor and other delivery staff on the programme.
What do I need to join?
Learners will require four GCSEs grade 4 (C) or above, to include English and Maths.
Previous work
Maths & English
Learners will be provided with the opportunity to retake their GCSE Maths as part of this programme of study, with the intention to improve from grade 3 on entry to grade 4.
Employability
We aim to provide you with the skills required to be able to progress into further study and training or employment upon completion of your programme of study. Key attributes required by employers are that individuals be enthusiastic, motivated, presentable (in some instances in company uniform), organised, articulate, able to think 'outside the box', business-like and enterprising, and that they have a 'can-do' attitude. We work on all these areas throughout the duration of your programme of study, and your tutor(s) will provide feedback on progress made, as well as areas for development.
Work Experience
As part of your overall programme of study, learners will be required to undertake a period of work placement related to the field of employment they wish to enter. Our Work Placement Team will assist learners in gaining a placement and ensure that you are on track to achieve, whilst liaising with your course tutors to ensure that the opportunity to practice necessary employability skills is available at college.
What can I do next?
Learners who successfully complete this programme will be eligible to progress onto further study, gain an apprenticeship or secure employment in the industry.
