This hands-on programme is your first step towards a career in the largest industry in the world, with endless job opportunities across New Zealand and the globe. By learning in a practical way in our on-site training cafes and restaurant, you'll gain valuable work-ready skills for front-line service in the café and bar sector. You'll also do a work experience placement which will allow you to further build your practical skills and contacts. You will spend 70% of your time in an applied, directed learning situation and 30% with self-directed study. You will learn how to describe and apply basic service operations in the food and beverage sector to meet industry requirements and understand the hospitality work environment. This covers professional café and bar service, including counter and table service, food preparation, cocktails, and bar service with barista knowledge, and you'll train in real and simulated work experience situations. Our on-site training facilities include Manaaki—our training restaurant, Eden Café, and AKO—our student-operated café. You'll also do an industry work experience placement. There are a number of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) issues associated with practical work in areas specific to a commercial kitchen and café environment. These include, but are not limited to, burns from hot liquids or hot objects and cuts from sharp instruments.
