• The World of Travel and Tourism
• Global Destinations
• The Airport Experience
• The UK as a Tourist Destination
• Work Experience in Travel and Tourism

Course Aims

A Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma is a practical, work-related course. You learn by completing projects and assignments that are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. Two of the units will be externally assessed. As well as learning about the employment area you have chosen, you will develop a range of practical skills required for employment or progression to higher education and successful development of transferable skills. It is equivalent to three A Levels which means when you have finished the course you can choose whether to get a job straight away or go into higher education first. A Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma can be taken full-time and is equally suitable for school leavers and mature students.

Special Features

The programme is designed specifically for those intending to seek a career in Travel and Tourism. In addition to classroom teaching and in support of your studies, there will be visits to local facilities and events, talks from guest speakers and industry experts. You will also have the opportunity to partake in a four-day induction programme. This will include a trip which will aim to introduce you to the local tourism industry. In addition to a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Travel and Tourism, you may have the opportunity to complete additional qualifications in WorldHost, Aviation, Hospitality or Social Media. Essential Skill qualifications in numeracy and literacy are also available. 

Assessment Methods

There are a range of assessment types and styles suited to vocational qualifications in the sector. There are three main forms of assessment: external, internal and synoptic. All mandatory and optional units contribute proportionately to the overall qualification grade.

Applicants should have at least 4 GCSEs at Grade C, or above, or other relevant qualifications, or appropriate work experience.

Level 3 BTEC Extended Diplomas are valued by employers and higher education (universities and colleges). If you want to get a job straight away you could work in the Travel and Tourism industry in careers such as Tour and Travel Operations, Travel Agents, Airline and Airport Operations, Hotel Management, Conference and Event Management, Customer Services, Holiday Rep, Adventure Tourism, Visitor Attractions, Public Sector Tourism, Heritage, Entertainment and Leisure, Transport etc.

If you decide to go to university or college you could take a degree or a Level 5 BTEC Higher National Diploma in Travel and Tourism Management, Tourism and Hospitality, Event Management or other related areas.

"The Level 3 Extended Diploma in Travel and Tourism involves a lot of practical projects and assessed coursework and has given me a great foundation which I’m really looking forward to building on this at university. I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking of a career in Travel and Tourism."

Essential Skills

All full-time students at Northern Regional College have the opportunity to improve their English, Maths and ICT skills and gain qualifications. The qualification you take will depend on the qualification you already have. If you do not have a grade C or above in GCSE English, Maths or ICT, you MUST complete Essential Skills; this will form a compulsory part of your timetable. If you are planning to go on to further study (for example university), please check if a GCSE qualification (rather than Essential Skills Level 2 equivalent) is required. For those who have a GCSE grade D in Maths or English, we offer a GCSE fast-track course.

So if you're an outgoing, friendly, people person and work well under pressure then we can help you get your career off to a flying start.

Other companies we’ve worked with include Ryanair, easyJet, Flitwick Manor, TUI, Menzies, The Embankment Hotel, Henlow Grange, Thameslink and Harrods Aviation. All of this helps you to develop the skills that will make you more employable and successful when applying for jobs.

NCFE Level 2 Travel and Tourism

Ncfe level 3 introductory diploma in travel and tourism.

Studied – Level 3 Child Care Learning and Development

Currently – Studying a Masters in Speech and Language Therapy at Manchester Metropolitan University

“I have always been interested in child development and working with children. 

Completing the Level 3 Childcare Learning and Development qualification helped me get into University to study BA (Hons) Disability Studies in Education and gain a role as a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant. 

“The course gave me experience of working with children and individuals with speech and communication difficulties, and provided me with the knowledge and understanding of how to support and address communication difficulties through planning, play and meaningful activity.

I am due to start a Masters in Speech and Language Therapy this September to become a Speech and Language Therapist.”

Frankie McCamley

Studied – A Level English, Drama, Maths and French

Currently – Presenter and News Correspondent for the BBC 

“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham! 

“I look back on my time at Yale with pride and fondness and will never forget it!”
