Travel and Tourism Programme Manager
“I enjoy engaging with students and watching them take their first steps of their career journey. As I’m from Barnsley, I wanted to give something back to the community and having studied at the College and knowing its ethos, I knew I wanted to be part of the outstanding teaching team. Of course, I would recommend Travel and Tourism! Our study programmes at Further Education level build on the core skills our students will require in industry. We develop their knowledge of the different industry sectors raising their aspirations in readiness for their career or educational progression.”

“I enjoy studying Travel and Tourism at College as they offer the chance to explore different aspects of the industry, from learning about popular tourist destinations to understanding the business side of travel. There’s a lot of hands-on practical work and fun trips, where I got to experience what it would be like working in the industry.”

“My favourite thing about coming to College is the working environment and how friendly the people are. Every time I step into my lessons, the tutors ensure that we are all up-to-date and if any help is needed then they will give us 1:1 support to confirm that our work is up to standard.”
