diploma instead of a-levels

wondering if anybody could tell me more about travel and tourism level 3 course as i’ve decided to do it at college. i don’t know anybody who has done the course and i’m generally wondering if it’s enjoyable (of course i’m not expecting anything to be easy but hopefully bearable) . i know i want to do something in that industry in the future but i know there’s other ways to go about it.
would anybody on it be able to go into a bit of detail about the course for me? (you can only get so much information from the colleges as you can probably understand)

i know for sure that i want to do cabin crew for a couple years after leaving sixth form. not 100% what i want to do after that but i’ve been looking into different careers i can do with it and there’s a lot that i think i would like to do.
thanks for the tips, I might ask to speak to someone on the course from the college

A levels arent for everyone but they offer more options and flexibility. If you arent sure about tourism then it is less flexible if you wnat to do other things. If it really interests you get a good grade.
i am late to this thread (so sorry) but i currently study that course! any questions, dont hesitate to message me! :smile:
