Foundation Travel and Tourism
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
WJEC Foundation Travel and Tourism is a two unit portfolio qualification for learners in Years 10 and 11 working at Entry Level or Level 1, with the VCSE Travel and Tourism as a natural next step. Unit 1 explores the travel and tourism industry in Wales and Unit 2 has learners research, design, present and review a new tourist attraction. Nothing requires a computer, so digital work is mostly the teacher's choice. It sits most naturally in Unit 2: researching attractions on sites such as Visit Wales and Tripadvisor, running a survey and charting the results, and making slides or pitch materials. Unit 1 also asks Level 1 learners to explain how technology such as virtual tours, e-tickets and travel apps can make tourism easier and more sustainable.

Making fact files, posters and infographics about tourism in Wales
The Unit 1 example tasks include fact files on travel and tourism in Wales, an introductory page of a Wales tourism guide, sector posters, job cards and, at Level 1, an infographic on Future Tourism in Wales covering accessible paths, eco transport and technology use. Digital tools are optional, but these products suit simple publishing or presentation software.

Creating slides and pitch materials for an attraction idea
In Unit 2 learners make materials to communicate their attraction design, including the name, location, who it is for, key activities, key facilities and costs or special offers. At Level 1 the materials need a clear structure, layout and use of visuals. Example tasks include a simple slide at Entry 2, a digital presentation at Entry 3 and pitch materials for a Dragon's Den style pitch at Level 1.

Reviewing the attraction design and how it was communicated
In Unit 2 learners review the strengths and weaknesses of their design and its communication, including whether the communication of the attraction appeals to visitors, then identify their own strengths and weaknesses. At Level 1 they evaluate all aspects and suggest an improvement, drawing on feedback from the Q&A or pitch.

Da gwybod
- Every piece of evidence goes in digitally: "All evidence must be submitted digitally." Paper work and physical evidence "should be scanned, photographed or filmed so that a clear digital version can be submitted" (Section 3.3, page 42).
- No equipment or software is required: both units state "There are no specific requirements for assessment." (pages 13 and 28).
- There are no tests, on screen or on paper. The qualification "is assessed through a portfolio of evidence that is internally assessed" and moderated by WJEC (Section 3, page 41).
- Teachers choose the tasks, so whether work is digital is the centre's choice: "Teachers have the flexibility to design assessment tasks and activities that best meet the needs of their learners." (Section 3.1, page 41).
- Digital products count as evidence. The list includes "artwork, models, digital media, or other creative products" and video or audio recordings of a learner "giving a presentation" (Section 3.3, page 42).
- Entry 1 learners may use technology for support: "verbal, visual and practical assistance, use of symbols, or assistive technology" (Section 3.4, page 43).
- The specification gives no rules on learners using AI. AI appears only as content, "the potential for the use of AI in the industry" (Unit 1, page 16), and the general malpractice rule applies: "Candidates must not take part in any unfair practice" (Section 3.8, page 45).
- Appendix A (page 50) maps Digital Competence: Citizenship to LO1.3, LO1.4, LO2.1 and LO2.2; Interacting and collaborating to LO1.2 to LO1.5 and LO2.1 to LO2.5; Producing to LO1.3, LO1.4 and "LO2.2 to LO2.6"; and Data and computational thinking to LO1.4, LO2.1 and LO2.2.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The Foundation course is a stepping stone to VCSE Travel and Tourism and shares four of its digital skills. Researching attractions on sites such as Visit Wales becomes, in the VCSE, researching a destination for a fact file and judging and referencing sources with AI not allowed. The Foundation survey and charted results become a VCSE feedback tool whose responses are collated and used to improve a trip. Foundation slides, posters and pitch materials become VCSE marketing materials such as social media posts and leaflets aimed at a set visitor group, and knowing how virtual tours, e-tickets and travel apps help tourism grows into the VCSE Unit 1 sector test on booking, airport and accommodation technology. Maps, places and the impacts of tourism also link with GCSE Geography.
