Part of your development will involve working within our commercial restaurant and interacting with both internal and external customers. Your attendance in College may involve evening sessions within the commercial restaurant environment.
All of your sessions will be college based with 20% in the classroom and 80% undertaking practical activities in our RWE (realistic working environment). Our methods of delivery will include student focused learning and formal teaching sessions, accompanied by workshops, tutorials, some independent studies, problem solving and work-based learning.
How will I be assessed?
Competence-based assessment through a portfolio of evidence, assignment and underpinning knowledge questions.
Good course combinations

Potential job occupations include Catering/Restaurant Supervisor, Bartender Supervisor and Deputy Manager.
“I chose Hospitality as I loved Food Technology at school as well as cooking at home. My first job was also in catering and I loved it. I like this course as I get to develop my skills and come out with a Level 3 qualification.”
