International Travel and Tourism Management (Blended learning) Higher National Certificate – C2687

This Higher National Certificate course is a fantastic opportunity to develop a range of essential travel and tourism management skills to further career opportunities in your chosen sector.
Each unit caters to the increasing need for high quality professional and technical education at level 4, providing students with a clear pathway to employment or progressing into further higher education.

The blended structure of this course means you attend one full day at college whilst balancing your significant proportion of your studies at home. In addition, it is expected that you will gain vocational experience through part-time work as well as engage in independent research into the topic under investigation, an essential part of completing the programme. Also, as an incentive you will be given a £250.00 voucher once you have successfully completed the first semester.

On successful completion of the Higher National Certificate, you may progress on to a Higher National Diploma (equivalent to the second year of a degree) and from there is the opportunity to progress into university to top-up to a full Degree (third year).
