If you have a passion for travel or if you want to develop the skills to help others make the most of their tourism experiences, this subject will open your mind to the endless opportunities that exist in the world's largest industry. Tourism is predicted to recover from the Pandemic to once again be Britain's fifth-largest industry. In 2019 it was the UK's third-largest export earner, worth £127 billion a year and supporting 3.1 million jobs in over 200,000 small and medium enterprises (source: Visit Britain). This course covers a range of topical aspects relating to the industry as well as helping people to become occupationally ready to take up employment in a range of jobs in both the public and private sectors, in places such as visitor attraction, travel agencies, hotels, airlines and tour operators. This can follow either directly after achieving this qualification, or via the stepping stone of Higher Education at Universities or Colleges. You will study 4 units over the 2 years, which cover some fundamental aspects of Travel and Tourism. The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Travel and Tourism is the equivalent to 1 A Level and allows students to earn the same number of UCAS points. This is a 2-year course and should be taken as part of a full College programme alongside other A Level and BTEC National qualifications.
A minimum of five GCSE subjects at grade 4 or above including English Language or at least a Merit grade in BTEC First Diploma Travel and Tourism. It is not necessary to have studied this subject at GCSE level at school.
Each unit is awarded points, which are translated into an overall grade (Pass, Merit or Distinction) by the assessors at the end of the course. Assignment tasks will be in the form of a variety of observed practical tasks, reports, presentations and activities. Unit 1 Written Exam 25% Unit 2 Controlled Assessment 35% Unit 3 & 4 Coursework 40%
