Skills you will gain
The catering and hospitality sector is rebounding strongly after pandemic lockdowns, showing that there will always be a high demand for skilled chefs and other catering professionals. Our courses will equip you with skills including:
- Passion and drive for improvement
- Understanding of nutrition, health and hygiene
- Teamwork
- Attention to detail and dexterity
- Numeracy
- Customer service with speed and accuracy
- Reliability and responsibility
- Knowledge of professional catering equipment
- Health and safety
The tutors always talk about what it’s like to work in catering, like telling you the right etiquette in a kitchen, and how to present food so that it looks really special. I’m in college four days a week, and at the weekends I work at a restaurant in Westminster. It’s a great experience and I’m learning a lot.
