Understanding the future
The post-16 reforms bring challenges and apprehension about the future for educators and learners in aviation, travel and tourism. However, our travel and tourism qualifications will remain live and continue to be funded until August 2026.
A positive outlook
Beyond 2026, we’re planning to offer continuity for you and your learners. We’re consulting with industry specialists to provide alternative pathways and ensure no learner is left behind. We believe we have found the solution to ensure that excellent qualifications will still be present and funded in travel and tourism, and we're excited about the future.
“We are standing by the travel industry. Part of our purpose as an educational charity is to ensure no learner is left behind, and we’re committed to ensuring career aspirations aren’t grounded because of changes in the education system.” David Rowley, Product Manager for Technical Education
We can offer you hands-on support and continuity for the future when you switch your 16-19 provision to us.
