About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Travel and Tourism Course in Bradford. Classes run at St. Bedes & St. Josephs Catholic College, A Voluntary Academy, full-time during the day. This Pearson Edexcel level 3 BTEC travel and tourism qualification takes one year to complete and is designed for applied learning alongside other qualifications in your study programme. It carries the same weight as half an A Level. You'll explore the travel and tourism industry in depth, building the knowledge needed to progress to higher education.

Who this course is for

The Pearson BTEC National Certificate in Travel and Tourism is intended as an Applied General qualification. It is designed for post-16 learners with an interest in travel and tourism who want to continue their education through applied learning, and who aim to progress to higher education. The qualification is equivalent in size to half an A Level and is designed to occupy one-third of a typical study programme, which could include other vocational or academic qualifications, such as another BTEC National or A Level. This qualification gives a broad introduction to the travel and tourism industry, with an emphasis on core knowledge and fundamental skills that are transferable across other sectors.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore the structure and scale of the global travel and tourism industry.
  • You'll examine how travel and tourism businesses operate and generate revenue.
  • You'll study customer service principles and how they apply in tourism contexts.
  • You'll investigate how destinations are marketed and promoted to visitors.
  • You'll analyse the factors that affect travel trends and consumer choices.
  • You'll develop research and presentation skills used in higher education and the workplace.

How you will learn

The Pearson BTEC National Certificate uses a mix of internally assessed assignments and externally assessed units. Internally assessed work is based on projects, case studies, and research tasks completed in class. External assessment involves set tasks or exams set and marked by Pearson Edexcel. You'll study in a classroom setting full-time, with coursework forming a significant part of your overall grade.
