Skills you will gain
Courses in travel and tourism at Nescot prepare you not just for the many opportunities in the tourism sector, but for careers in any service or customer-focused industry. Skills you will learn include:
- Customer service
- Presentation and professionalism
- Sales and marketing
- Knowledge of health and safety
- Business principles
- Communication
- Literacy and numeracy
- Resilience and motivation
The course is really broad, so you feel prepared to work in any part of the industry in the UK or abroad. One of the best things is that you get to do additional qualifications, which gives you a good advantage when you’re applying for jobs or to university. We even have a room set out like an aircraft to practice in, and when you’re doing things for yourself everything makes sense so much more than if you were just reading from a book. I’ve applied for an apprenticeship with a major airline, and because of my experience at Nescot I went into the interview feeling really prepared.”
I want to work in the travel industry in the future, and the course has given me a lot of the skills and experience I need. I got to do an extra qualification in cabin crew, which will look great on my CV, and we even have a cabin crew room in the college.
