Students will be very much be engaging in both theoretical and practical learning on this course!

The core units aim to enable learners to understand the diversity and structure of the global hospitality industry. They will learn about the variety of jobs, the types of ownership, and also international differences in classifying food and hotel standards. Units develop an understanding of the importance of quality customer service, and this is highlighted through practical experience.

Two practical units will be based in the Food Technology rooms where students learn to produce a wide range of European and Contemporary world food.

These units come together in the planning and carrying out of a number of Hospitality events, which together with the practical application of the marketing unit studied, create a vibrant and truly vocational experience.
