Travel And Tourism
Training Takes Off
A new travel and tourism training programme has been pioneered, which aims to give students a head-start in the increasingly competitive and demanding travel and tourism sector.
The Travel Industry Skills (TIS) programme offers students a broad, vocational insight into various practical aspects of the Travel and Tourism industry. The programme combines a range of nationally recognised qualifications from leading qualification provider NCFE with industry placements and a number of hands-on activities.
The programme has been implemented by New College Durham and since its launch, registrations have doubled.
Students can select a variety of qualifications including; NCFE Certificate for Air Cabin Crew, NCFE Certificate for Resort Representatives, NCFE Customer Service and NCFE Travel. Other courses such as First Aid and Basic Food Hygiene are also included within the programme.
The travel and tourism sector is becoming increasingly competitive and customer service expectations continue to grow. This programme not only allows students to gain qualifications but it also allows them to demonstrate their skills and gain valuable work experience.
