So you want to see the world? This is how to do it as a career!

What is a travel and tourism qualification?

Travel and tourism may just be one of the most exciting sectors you can work in, allowing you the possibility to travel internationally and see the world while you work. And as if travelling to international countries wasn’t exciting enough, you’re also open to other opportunities such as:

  • amazing life experiences like working at festivals and sporting events
  • a variety of job roles, from working in a hotel, an airport or working as cabin crew
  • no two days being the same
  • developing transferrable skills which are valued in all industries
  • opportunities to progress and develop in your chosen career

Which qualification would be right for me?

We currently offer:

  • Air Cabin Crew
  • Travel and Tourism

What can I expect from a travel and tourism qualification?

Depending on what you choose to study, you could be learning about the business of travel and tourism, the UK as a tourism destination, as well as customer service in travel and tourism. You will learn about tour operations, holiday representatives, events management, entertainments for holidaymakers and sustainable tourism.

If it’s specifically air cabin crew you are interested in, you will gain an introduction into safety procedures, standard operating procedures, aviation medicine and the glamorous side of impeccable grooming that is essential to the industry. 

Not to mention that you will also be taught by industry experts! Our members of staff haven’t been teachers all their lives, they’ve also worked in industry for organisations such as Virgin Atlantic and East Midlands Airport. Their knowledge is invaluable.

Where will I be studying?

You will be based at our City Campus and have the opportunity to learn in our life-size plane simulator or on our airport security desk. Without a doubt you’ll get a taste of what doing the job is actually like.

Ready to apply?

Like what you've seen and are ready to start your journey to becoming an international jet setter? All you need to do to get started is submit an application for one of our qualifications on our website.
