The Travel and Tourism course gives you the chance to travel while you work and see the world! It is true that the travelling really starts right here on the course with a five-day residential trip, day trips to London, York Dungeons and the Manchester Trafford Centre. You’ll get to learn about the industry, covering everything from customer service, marketing and event planning to leisure and tourism. The classroom has an aeroplane model that you get to use to carry out full flight procedures, from serving from the trolley to the safety drill, equipped with all the gear that a usual demonstration would have.
