Hospitality
The Hospitality programmes provide students with a broad base of skills covering all aspects of the hospitality industry.

These programmes are ideal for people wishing to gain an introduction to hospitality, before focusing on one area in which to gain employment. Once students have completed NZQA Unit Standards 167 and 168,which are food safety based, they immediately qualify for a NZQA Food Hygiene Certificate – one that is recognised throughout the hospitality industry.
