Meet our students
YuTeng Zheng, Travel & Tourism Level 3 Extended Diploma Southport College was recommended to me by friends as one of the best colleges. The quality of the courses are great so I decided to study here. I have really enjoyed the Travel and Tourism course; the different modules give you lots of knowledge of the industry. The tutors are really nice too. They have lots of knowledge of the subject because they have all worked in the industry and they are very supportive. We have been on lots of different trips on the course, Cabin Crew training in Bournemouth, Blackpool Pleasureland and Alton Towers but best of all, we went to Disneyland Paris! I couldn’t fault the course; it’s perfect! I am going to Salford University next year to study Tourism Management. I would love to work for an airport or Airline in the future within their marketing team.
Lily Morgan, Travel & Tourism Level 3 Extended Diploma Southport College is really convenient for me to get to and offered the course that I wanted to study. I’ve really enjoyed meeting new people and learning all the different topics within the travel and tourism industry. I particularly enjoyed a trip to Bournemouth to complete a JARE Cabin Crew training programme. This was great for me as I would really like to work in the airline industry in the future so being shown the skills needed to be cabin crew was great.
