Catering & Hospitality

Studying an Apprenticeship course in Catering & Hospitality allows you to gain recognised qualifications and develop employment skills while you earn. You'll come to college but the majority of your training will take place on the job and you'll be paid a minimum wage.

Each Apprenticeship is unique because it's based around your daily tasks and duties. A Catering & Hospitality Apprenticeship might help you to develop skills and awareness in:

• Food and drink service
• Preparing and serving wines
• Silver service
• Dealing with payments
• Health, safety and hygiene
• Food preparation
• Cooking
• Working in a hospitality team

The training you complete will give you a greater understanding of the catering industry and enable you to carry out your work in a professional, confident manner.

We offer both Intermediate and Advanced Apprenticeships so you can choose the level of training which is appropriate to your skills and experience.
