Travel and tourism
The OCR Level 3 Nationals in Travel and Tourism have been developed to recognise learners' skills, knowledge and understanding of the travel and tourism industry and the settings, job roles, principles and values involved.
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.
They do not certificate competence on the job but are work-related qualifications which will support progression to an NVQ once a learner is in the work place.
Specification aims

- Develop learner's knowledge and understanding of the travel and tourism industry and the chosen specialist pathway if selected.

- Develop learner's ability to work autonomously and effectively in a travel and tourism context
- Enable learners to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in specialist areas of travel operations, tourism provision and development, and airports and airlines.
- Encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding which learners will need to access further or high education programmes or occupational training on a full-time or part-time basis.
- Encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding which learners will need to enter employment, or enhance their current employment status.
