— Our Vision

We are here to transform NCFE aviation education

We aim to revolutionise how Further Education colleges deliver NCFE travel and aviation qualifications. Our mission is to provide every FE institution across the UK with access to premium micro learning courses that enhance student engagement, improve pass rates, and reduce lecturer workload while maintaining the highest educational standards.

What is micro learning?

 Micro learning breaks complex topics into bite-sized, focused modules typically lasting 5-15 minutes. This approach improves knowledge retention, fits busy schedules, reduces cognitive overload, and allows learners to master specific skills quickly through targeted, digestible content delivered in short, engaging sessions.

How can it help you?

Micro learning modules complement classroom teaching by reinforcing key NCFE concepts, providing flexible revision opportunities, tracking student progress through pre-assessments, reducing preparation time, and enabling personalised learning paths that support diverse student needs and improve qualification outcomes.

How can it help Gen Z?

Our courses feature dynamic video avatars and strategic emoji integration, mirroring how Gen Z students naturally communicate on social media. This familiar visual language increases engagement, improves comprehension, and creates an authentic learning experience that resonates with modern learners' communication preferences.

You spoke. We listened.

Earlier this year we asked lecturers across the UK to tell us honestly what makes this job hard. Ninety seven of you did — and you didn't hold back. The marking. The AI headache. Teams of five lecturers shrinking to two. Sunday evenings lost to resource-building.

Every course we're relaunching this September has been shaped by those answers. This page exists because of them.

And it's why we're doing things differently this time. No "free trial" that becomes yet another login you never get round to. Instead: email me, tell me your biggest headache, and I'll personally show you — in a way that fits around your timetable — exactly how we'd help with that specific problem. If it's not right for you, no hard feelings, and you'll have lost five minutes rather than five hours.

What your colleagues are saying...

"Self study interactive, realistic travel and tourism courses. The skills learnt and used to pass each course simulate situations you could be faced with in a whole range of careers from cabin crew, travel agent, passenger service agent, hotel receptionist and holiday reps. Test your skills and knowledge, aim for top scores, keep your certificates for evidence of completion and to enhance your CV. Nothing to lose, everything to gain!"

"Absolute life savers and trailblazers helping us and fellow travel and aviation institutions to help students grow and be inspired. From the online courses to resources to support students and tutors nationwide.
I know our students have and continue to enjoy learning through your inclusive online experience and myself too.
Thank you for your support and proactiveness during lockdown.
I highly recommend the Travel Training Academy"

At Eastleigh College we have used the academy for our Year 11 transition students, they each have been invited to complete activities in readiness for their studies in September. Great tool and lovely to see so many learners enrolled on the academy and having a go. No marking required. The selection of activities/clips to watch and final assessments have been so simple to use.

Lecturer Review 

The Travel Training Academy is a fantastic, interactive, educational and fun learning tool for travel students. It engages learners to learn independently online, which is perfect for the new blended learning world we are living in. It covers lots of the criteria required for all of the Travel and Tourism courses available at school and college. Tutors can see exactly how students are working and can download reports by course and student. Students are rewarded with stickers and certificates as they progress.
I can’t recommend the TTA highly enough. The team are so supportive and will help you every step of the way.

College students love us

Learn2becabincrew level 1 - I really liked learning about all the different job roles of cabin crew and the different responsibilities aboard a aircraft. I am really enjoying every minute of learning every different unit
Demi-Ann Rowe 
Really liked Learn2CheckIn!
The practical element of checking in the passengers whilst learning.
Think it’s very unique compared to many online training courses and applies learning practically through check in’s. 
Emma Howitt 
Just complete the Airport check in courses.
It gave me an idea of how I can check passengers in and how to deal with multiple scenarios regarding different customers.
