Who this course is for

The Pearson BTEC Level 1 Introductory Award, Certificate and Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism are primarily for all learners who want to continue their education and develop their skills for progression to further learning and, ultimately, to employment.

The Certificate is designed for learners who may be ready to progress quickly to further study.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements but all learners recruited should be able to access a Level 1 programme. It is the centres responsibility to ensure that learners who are recruited make reasonable progress and are likely to achieve at this level.

Learners are most likely to succeed if they:

  • have the personal motivation to succeed at this level and to progress to further study and, ultimately, to employment
  • are willing to improve their maths and English skills.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop skills to support your progression to further study or employment.

How you will learn

Learning is classroom-based and delivered during the day. The flexible study pattern means the centre can work with you on how sessions are arranged.
