Level 1 Hospitality

Students who are interested in food, cooking, or exploring a future in the hospitality industry will enjoy this hands-on introduction to working in a commercial kitchen.

The course covers essential practical skills such as safe knife handling, food safety and hygiene, and how to prepare and cook eggs, cheese, fruit, baked goods, and hot finger foods using frying and grilling methods.

Students cook for two full periods each week. Some of the food prepared will be used for school events or sold, so not all dishes will be consumed by the students themselves. This encourages a focus on producing food at a professional, retail-ready standard.

This course provides a strong foundation for part-time employment opportunities in cafés or kitchens and leads into Level 2 Hospitality.
