Students are taught by lecturers who have worked in the travel and tourism industry. Final year students can go on a trip abroad to put their learning into practice. 

As part of the course, students train on a real airplane as cabin crew members. They also go on residential trips where they can practise their resort rep skills.

"I really enjoy the Travel and Tourism course and cabin training is my favourite topic. It was amazing to go to Heathrow Airport and train with British Airways. I am hoping to be air cabin crew or go into the hotel industry after I finish College."
