About this course

Free Entry Level Introduction to the Hospitality Industry Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You learn on the job, putting your skills into practice as you go. The course takes around one year to complete. It covers the core knowledge and skills you need to work in hospitality, from customer service to food and drink service. You must be aged 14 or above and working at Entry Level 3 or above to join. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm this is the right level for you.

Who this course is for

These qualifications are for anyone who is interested in a career in the hospitality sector.

Entry requirements

For any learner who has not achieved this qualification and is working at Entry Level 3 or above. Learners must be aged 14 or above.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn how the hospitality industry is structured and how different roles fit together.
  • You'll develop customer service skills used in hospitality settings.
  • You'll understand food and drink service in a workplace context.
  • You'll learn about health, safety, and hygiene standards in hospitality.
  • You'll build awareness of how to present yourself professionally in a hospitality role.

How you will learn

Learning takes place in your workplace. You'll build evidence of your skills and knowledge through practical tasks and on-the-job activities. Assessment is work-based, so you're assessed on what you do in your role rather than in a classroom or exam setting. Your assessor will visit or check in with you to review your progress and evidence.

From there, a Level 2 Diploma in Hospitality Services would develop your practical skills further and open more roles in the sector. City and Guilds offers qualifications at each of these levels.
