Case Studies

Fiza

Studying Air Cabin Crew Level 2

Training in the air cabin in college with all the proper equipment is so realistic. It gives you first-hand experience of what it’s like to work as a Flight Attendant.

Emmanuel

Studying Level 1 intro to travel, tourism and aviation

The course has taught me about accessible tourism and flight tracking and I love coming into college every day and learning new things. The tutors have helped me progress by teaching me new things I didn’t even know about and helping me throughout my studies. I’d recommend Kirklees College as it’s friendly and welcoming.

Alex

Studying Travel and Tourism Level 3

I chose this course because I have always been interested in the travel industry and wanted to learn more about it. The most enjoyable part of the course is studying the England, Scotland and Wales task because I find it interesting to learn about attractions and places I’ve never heard of before.
