This BTEC First course in Hospitality should inspires and enthuse you to consider a career in the hospitality industry, rather than just being a customer or patron.
It will provide the opportunity to gain a broad understanding and knowledge of, and skills in, the hospitality industry and give you the potential opportunity to enter employment within a wide range of junior job roles across the hospitality industry, for example waiter/waitress, assistant front-of-house staff, temporary events/matchday hospitality staff, concessions catering assistants, fast food servers.
This course supports progression to a more specialised level 3 vocational or academic hospitality and catering course or an apprenticeship in hospitality and catering.
There are no specific prior learning requirements

This course comprises 4 units:

Unit 3: Food Safety & Health and Safety in Hospitality
