The Level 1 / 2 BTEC Extended Certificate in Leisure and Tourism is a course designed to give students a broad understanding of this industry. It encourages the student to plan, monitor and evaluate their work based on an imaginative programme of study. The vocational nature of the course allows students to develop problem solving skills, emphasising the use of IT, numeracy and good communication skills in line with the government Key Skills requirement. It is an active course, supplemented by a period of work experience and vocational visits which assist in putting school based work in its appropriate context. Six of the units are assessed through assignments and investigations where students develop the ability to organise and research their own work. Alongside this there are two formal exams in this programme that are sat at the end of the taught module. There will be a visit planed by the students in the Spring, to study customer service, as well as, complete another unit of work. There will also be other visits to local businesses and tourist attractions in London throughout the year. There is also an opportunity for students to participate in an international trip.
