The college’s excellent learning environment includes a mock aircraft cabin complete with seats and a galley which allows learners to gain practical experience of working on an aircraft, and you’ll use specialist industry software. Lecturers have a wealth of knowledge and passion for the industry, having worked in a range of different travel roles. In addition you’ll hear from expert speakers within the travel sector as well as enjoy enriching visits and trips.
"I have worked in travel my whole career since school from a trainee at American Express Travel before moving on for many wonderful years at Thomas Cook. After having a family I worked in small independent agencies before entering into teaching travel and tourism at Eastleigh College where I have been for 15 years. I love maps/geography/talking about travel and of course travelling. I enjoy helping students grow and follow their dreams and develop into future employees in the travel sector."
