Monday 11th September 2017 ends Friday 22nd September
The first week focuses on applicants developing essential customer services skills as well as providing an introduction to the hospitality industry. Participants also gain certificates in Food Safety Level 1 and Health and Safety in the Workplace Level 1.
The second week will give the opportunity for the individuals to develop practical experience in a kitchen.
Skills will be put to the test on the final day when individuals demonstrate the skills they have learned by working in small teams and cooking for their friends and family.
