If you have completed the Level 1 Travel & Tourism Diploma or are eligible to get straight in to this Level 2 programme, you will learn in more detail about the travel and tourism industry, with greater emphasis on modules such as retail and customer service as well as being introduced to modules regarding visitor attractions, UK destinations and being a rep abroad.
During the course you will study the following: - Customer Service
- Retail Travel
- Overseas Resort Reps
- Visitor Attractions
- UK Destinations
The majority of the time will be in the classroom. However, you will get the opportunity to carry out some of your studies by visiting some of the local tourist attractions. You will also carry out a coach transfer and an overseas rep's welcome meeting whilst on a residential visit.

2 GCSE grades at D/3, one of which must be English language. Progression from a Level 1 course or above. You will need to have a suitable reference and undertake a successful interview.
