Travel and tourism
The OCR Level 2 Nationals in Travel and Tourism have been developed to recognise learners' knowledge, understanding and skills of travel and tourism activities, environments and operations.
The learners carry out a range of tasks that have been designed to recognise their achievements in a modern, practical way that is relevant to the workplace.
It does not certificate competence on the job but is a work-related qualification which will support progression to an NVQ once a learner is in the workplace.
Specification aims
These qualifications specifically aim to:
- develop learner's knowledge and understanding of the travel and tourism industries
- develop learner's skills, knowledge and understanding in contexts that are directly relevant to employment situations, thereby enhancing their employability within the travel and tourism industries

- encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding that learners will need to access further education programmes or occupational training on a full-time or part-time basis
- promote interaction between employers, centres and learners by relating teaching and assessment to real settings.
