Travel | Explorer

The new training package for travel students

The Explorer range has taken TTC Training two years of planning and development to produce, including extensive research through our partner college approved centres. It has been designed to inspire and challenge students and support their tutors in the delivery of travel qualifications.

 

Why Explorer?

Explorer contains the core syllabus material for candidates working towards achieving the Certificate in Travel for travel agents or tour operators at Level 2 and Level 3 - formerly known as ABTAC (ABTA Travel Agents Certificate) and ABTOC (ABTA Tour Operators Certificate) primary and advanced levels.

 

What does the Explorer range include?

Explorer offers a tutor pack and student packs covering the following eight modules:

1. Travel geography
2. The travel industry
3. Package holidays
4. Transportation
5. Related travel & tour operator services
6. Cruising
7. Tailor-made holidays
8. Emergencies & problems

The Tutor Pack* - has been designed to provide valuable support for teaching the ABTAC/ABTOC syllabuses in conjunction with the Explorer candidate learning support material. A broad range of activities is included, ensuring extensive coverage of each syllabus requirements.

In addition, the tutor pack provides suggestions for lessons and mock examination papers, complete with answers.

Travel Geography Module - additional publications are available to support the Travel Geography module:

  1. The highly acclaimed Columbus World Travel Atlas, specifically designed to give a comprehensive overview of the world from a tourism perspective, including statistics and individual country information.
