Travel, Tourism and Aviation

The travel, tourism and aviation industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the UK economy and employs more people worldwide than any other industry. We’re all about preparing you for industry, and we even have a mock airline cabin which gives our students the chance to learn practical inflight skills with their feet firmly on the ground! 

We’ve earned a reputation for offering high quality aviation and travel & tourism courses, which will help you to get a place at university or start a career in the industry. You’ll be based at our brand new City Hub. 

Our excellent links with employers mean that businesses regularly contact us to encourage our students to apply for vacancies. Some even guarantee job interviews for those with 90% attendance or above, with many going on to secure a job. Recent guest speakers have included cabin crew from airlines including Thomson, Virgin and EasyJet, plus staff from Swissport and the RAF. We also work with East Midlands Airport.

Our courses involve a range of study visits, field trips and fundraising activities alongside classroom learning. You will also get chance to go on a residential study trip in the UK, Europe, or maybe even further afield!
