Travel and Aviation Operations

Newcastle is famed for its warm welcome and is frequently named the UK's friendliest city. When you embark on a Travel course at Newcastle College, you'll get the chance to work with some of the best hoteliers, travel providers and commercial enterprises in the region's culture, business and tourism industries.

Work experience and guest lectures are at the heart of our curriculum, to make sure you gain the skills you will need to succeed in the tourism industry, and we work with companies like LNER, Lumo, the Apartment Group, the Maldron Hotel, Newcastle Gateshead Initiative and the Northumberland Tourist Board.
