Did you know?
Our Hospitality & Tourism courses provide access to the best industry standard facilities around, including:
- A working training restaurant providing students with hands-on experience of both silver-service waiting skills and general customer care.
- A live internet café, providing a stimulating, modern environment for a working fast food operation.
- Fully functional kitchens providing a realistic work environment for all practical food preparation.
- A fully stocked, licensed bar.
- A simulated reservation system giving students experience of using the reservation process a travel agent or tour operator would use when dealing with holiday enquiries.
If you enjoy being creative in the kitchen or have a passion for travel and customer service, then one of our Hospitality & Tourism courses will provide you with essential skills for this dynamic sector.
Our courses in Hospitality provide hands-on practical skills in our genuine, fully operational training restaurant, bar and internet café. You can study professional cookery courses if you want to enter the industry at an operational level, as for example, a chef. Qualifications in the service side of the industry are available for those interested in bar or food & drink service, or supervisory and management level positions.
Our Travel & Tourism courses provide thorough training in many aspects of this expanding industry. There are many employment opportunities including cabin crew, airport services, tour guiding, conference and event management, tour operations and travel agents. We have recently added new subjects to our courses including studying the requirements of overseas representatives, equipping students to apply for one of the most popular areas of the industry.
