About this course

Free Level 3 Travel and Tourism Course in Liverpool. Classes run at St Julie's Catholic High School, full-time over two years.

The course covers the local, national, and global tourism industry. You'll explore how destinations are marketed, how travel businesses operate, and the skills the industry needs. There are no formal entry requirements, though the course builds naturally on GCSE Leisure and Tourism or a Level 1 or 2 tourism qualification.

You'll finish with a WJEC Applied Diploma in Tourism.

Who this course is for

Although there are no formal entry requirements, the qualifications support progression from GCSE subjects such as Leisure and Tourism or the WJEC Level 1/2 in Tourism.

Entry requirements
