    Irun Deol

    Tutor - Tourism and Hospitality

    I have a love for travel, tourism and aviation operations. Having worked as a cabin crew for the UK's flagship carrier, British Airways, I now share my passion for guiding learners towards pursuing a career within the industry. Witnessing learners' hard work results in successful destinations such as employment for companies including Jet2, TUI, and Swissport is rewarding. The realistic KC Air cabin mock-up provides our learners with a hands-on and unique learning experience, preparing them for the dynamic travel and tourism industry.
