Full time (up to 4 days per week) for one year, over 3 x 11 week terms. Each term will contain 4 subjects. - Portfolio, tutorial, workshop and enrichment sessions also form part of your timetable, to provide academic and pastoral support throughout the year.
- All tourism units are internally assessed so you do not need to sit exams. Assessment and grading of each unit is done by the subject tutor and follows strict guidelines from OCR. Between 3 and 4 small assessments must be completed per unit.
Educational Visits
A number of educational visits will be arranged to assist you in completing your coursework, as well as experiencing real life travel and tourism companies. If you do not attend organised trips, you might find that you achieve a lower mark for your coursework.
Students under 18 must have a consent form signed by their parent or guardian.
A deposit of £40 per student must be paid when you enrol. This will be held by the college and put towards the cost of your trips. Every eligible student must apply to our Learning Support Fund, for help towards the costs of the trips.
