Passmores’ Business College focuses upon providing Newcastle Courses which combine theory with practice. As part of this aim, all of our business college students have the privilege of participating in the subject, Event Management. We say privilege, because the students actually get to run an event, an event specifically designed to raise money for various charities. Whilst the subject is a lot of hard work our business college students really enjoy the ‘hands on’ aspect of the course.
The students have to manage their own finances, marketing plan and event details. Over the next few weeks our students will get to see the results of all their hard work and have the satisfaction of presenting a cheque to their chosen charity. As one of the business college marketing students commented, “It’s the first time I’ve got to run anything like this myself, let alone do marketing. I’m really enjoying all the practical experience I’m getting”. So great to hear!

Earlier this year our Passmores’ Business College Hospitality students enjoyed looking around and learning all about the prestigious Crowne Plaza Newcastle.
As the hotel industry is quite prominent in Hospitality, our business college knows how important having this inside knowledge is.
The students were given a very different perspective on accommodation and training, when they toured the YHA, even commenting “how big the rooms were!”.
Passmores’ hospitality course provides excellent Newcastle training, that covers international tourism, so it was very beneficial for the students to be able to see what youth hostel accommodation looks like first hand. They also had their general knowledge expanded as they were given a history lesson on how the youth hostel came about and how it operates world wide.
We hope it inspired our students to put on their hiking boots, grab a backpack and check out some other YHA around this wonderful world of ours!
