My Experience – Tia
Level 3 Travel and Tourism
“I wanted to study Travel and Tourism at EKC Dover College as I knew it had the support to help me to achieve my dream of working in Travel.
“I loved every moment of my three years at the College. My favourite part was definitely being able to do the sea survival skills training!
“Since finishing my course, I have started working as a Cabin Crew member at British Airways.
“I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my dream job, fly all over the world, and see lots of beautiful countries, if it wasn’t for the support the College has in place for everyone to achieve their career goals.”
