Course content & format

Have you ever wondered how the cabin crew industry works? Have you ever wanted to learn about different countries and cultures as well as the huge range of employment opportunities? Then this is the course for you.

The world of travel is a dynamic and rapidly changing one. For you to succeed, you will need to learn and develop a wide range of new skills and demonstrate these in an often vibrant and competitive environment. You will have an amazing opportunity to achieve and demonstrate this on our 1-year course.

Travel and tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It accounts for 10% of employment globally. Every sector of tourism needs to adopt professional standards of organisation, high personal standards and a keen eye for customer focus.

You will develop the skills and knowledge required to enable you to stand out in a competitive market place.

You will learn from hands on, ‘live’ project driven activities that will test your presentation and organisational skills preparing you for the ever changing world of travel.

You will also undertake course work which will develop your academic writing and get you ready for either entering directly into the sector or progressing to university.
