Overview

The Catering and Hospitality Apprenticeship will train a learner in a certain area of the industry. They will be following a comprehensive programme which offers training in a variety of skills. Hotels, public houses, coffee shops, shopping centres and restaurants especially all need catering staff. Learners on a Catering and Hospitality Apprenticeship often specialise in one area. These areas include: restaurants and bars, food preparation and cooking or working on reception.

Depending on which area you require your learner to specialise in, Catering and Hospitality Apprenticeships will cover the use of equipment, correct techniques for preparing food, serving food and drink and also dealing with customers. Due to the nature of the Catering and Hospitality industry, high standards of hygiene will need to be adhered to by the learner. The learner will need to be flexible because they will be required to work unusual shifts including evenings and weekends. Working as part of a team is also an important part of the Catering and Hospitality Apprenticeships.

What training will they receive?
