HNC International Travel and Tourism Management (Full-Time)

The HNC International Travel and Tourism Management programme is ideal for students wishing to work within the aviation and aerospace industry - one of the world's largest employment fields. Students firstly study the HNC International Travel and Tourism Management with Pilot Studies and then have the option to progress to the HND Level 5 course.

The programme can lead to a fascinating and rewarding career. With high demand for air travel, career opportunities are expected to increase. Course graduates could secure roles that range from aviation management to continuing their flight training to become a commercial airline pilot.

The Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) is at Level 4 (the same as the first year of a UK honours degree). It is an eight-unit qualification which involves studying five mandatory core subjects and a further three specialist subjects. The units have been selected to meet a broad range of local industry needs.

We have a strong focus on employability, and our training partners and professional connections can give students the chance to immerse themselves in the industry. Our close proximity to East Midlands Airport, along with other regional aviation partners, means students have the opportunity for networking, seasonal jobs and work placements where available.

At ASI Newark, students learn from skilled lecturers who have a high level of working knowledge, based on industry experience. Their teaching is designed to enable students to gain a deep insight into the latest trends and requirements of the aerospace and aviation sector.

As well as receiving interesting lectures and seminars, students are also supported by personal tutors, module leaders and course leaders. In addition, guest speakers often deliver sessions for students within ASI to enrich their learning. Previously we have welcomed speakers from Jet2, British Airways, EasyJet and East Midlands Airport.

Assessments are mainly by assignment with some testing in the analytical subjects. 

As part of the programme, students can choose to take an optional structured pilot training programme delivered by external partners at an additional cost that could lead to a Private Pilot Licence (PPL). More details can be found on the ASI webpage here.
