What our students say
Kiara Ryan
Level 2 Extended Certificate in Travel & Tourism
The dance workshop project has given me a real insight into what it's going to be like to work with children in the future, as I want to be a holiday rep when I finish my course.
Lily Goodship
Level 2 Certificate in Travel & Tourism
For me, the most surprising thing about studying at the College was how much more freedom you get in comparison to being at school. The timetable means you’ve got time to complete assignments while you’re on campus, but you’ve also got time to spend at home if you need it. You always have support from your tutors, and you’re treated more like an adult.

Studying Travel and Tourism was the best decision I made regarding my future career goals. The course was brilliant and the teachers are a great asset to this course... I have now gone on to study Tourism and Events at Westminster, London where I can pursue my career goal of working in luxury hospitality. Thank you, NHC!
