The Level 4 Higher National Certificate in International Travel and Tourism Management offers students a broad introduction to the subject area via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of skills and experience through the selection of optional units across a range of occupational sectors at Level 4. This effectively builds underpinning core skills while preparing the student for subject specialisation at Level 5. Students will gain a wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study and workplace scenarios. At Level 4 students develop a broad knowledge and awareness of key aspects of travel and tourism through five core units, which include one unit assessed by a Pearson-set assignment. The units are: ● The Contemporary Travel and Tourism Industry ● Managing the Customer Experience ● Professional Identity and Practice ● The Travel and Tourism Business Toolkit ● Leadership and Management for Service Industries (Pearson-set unit). The Centre can also choose three further optional units at Level 4 from the following: ● Managing Aviation Services ● Managing Conference and Events ● Visitor Attraction Management ● Online Travel Management ● Tour Operations Management ● Corporate Travel Management ● Passenger Transport Services On successful completion of the Level 5 Higher National Diploma, students can develop their careers in the travel and tourism sector through: ● Entering employment ● Continuing existing employment ● Linking with the appropriate Professional Body ● Committing to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ● Progressing to university. Learners may wish to progress to a degree course in which case entry to stage year 2 or 3 may be possible.

Teaching and learning methods are aligned to programme outcomes and support learners in becoming problem solvers, critical thinkers, independent enquirers and effective communicators. HE lecturers engage in a range of scholarly activities and ensure that appropriate links are made between theory and practice. Lecturers develop relevant and up-to-date teaching materials that allow learners to apply their learning to actual events and activities within the sector, through the delivery of live briefs, vocational scenarios and industry based practice. The development of learners’ independent learning skills is promoted through self-directed study, which may include reflective journals, blogs, sketchbooks and personal development records, facilitated by full access to the Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle) and the University Centre. Prior to formal assessment methods, learners will take part in a range of activities and tasks, in order to support their preparation for final assessments. Verbal and written feedback will be provided by tutors to support learners’ development in order to reach their true potential. Informal assessments methods are varied and relevant to vocational practice. Knowledge and understanding are tested though portfolio and sketchbook-based work, critiques and peer reviews essays, research reports, group and individual presentations. Live projects, competitions and work-related learning provide vehicles for teaching and learning. Participation in debates, simulations, group work, individual and group presentations will encourage learners to critically consider the application of theory to practice. The assessment of BTEC Higher National qualifications is criterion-based and learners’ evidence is assessed against published learning outcomes and assessment criteria. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that effective learning of the content of each unit has taken place. Evidence of this learning, or the application of the learning, is required for each unit. The assessment of the evidence relates directly to the assessment criteria for each unit, supported by the generic grade descriptors. All units will be individually graded as ‘pass,’ ‘merit’ or ‘distinction’. To achieve a pass grade for the unit learners must meet the assessment criteria set out in the specifications. Further information is available in the programme handbook and in the College’s Higher Education Assessment Policy.
