Level 2 & 3 NVQ Certificate/Diploma in Tourism/Travel Services
Learners will be expected to possess a sound knowledge and experience of travel and tourism related services. This qualification is ideal if:
- you want to gain a qualification which recognises and confirms your skills and competence in a range of leisure or and tourism related services
- if you are aspiring to progress to a supervisory or team leading role in the future.
We would require a pre-course meeting to discuss the course and to establish that this level is suitable for you ‘the candidate’. We will also check that the candidate has the ability to demonstrate competence in working practices within their current work role.
There are no formal entry requirements for candidates undertaking this NVQ; however candidates must have the potential and opportunity to gain evidence for the qualification in the work place and ideally should be employed in a Leisure, Tourism or Tourism services role. Therefore, employer agreement and consent is essential. You will have learned your skills on the job or by attending training courses and your assessor will help you to identify if there are any skills gaps which need to be filled prior to assessment.

Once an individual training plan is agreed and set up with the candidate, then the assessor will provide the necessary support and guidance. The assessor will assist the candidate in identifying suitable evidence and assessment methods for each unit. Depending on the unit selected, assessment can be carried out by a variety of different methods e.g. to cover ‘performance’ the candidate portfolio can include evidence such as work products (copies of documents etc), assessor observations, witness testimony and written answers or verbal questioning can be used to confirm knowledge and understanding.

Customer Feedback
“I have found GCS Training and its assessors to be very thorough and use their time on site to provide the highest standard. They provide a lot of one-to-one coaching for individuals who perhaps find it harder than others.
