What you will learn

  • You'll explore how the hospitality industry is structured and how different businesses operate within it.
  • You'll learn the principles of customer service in hospitality environments.
  • You'll develop knowledge of food and beverage service.
  • You'll understand health, safety, and hygiene standards in hospitality workplaces.
  • You'll learn how to present yourself professionally and work as part of a team.
  • You'll build awareness of the range of roles available in hotels, restaurants, and catering.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Sutton Community Academy. Assessment is through coursework and practical tasks that test your knowledge of the hospitality industry. There are no formal written exams. Your progress is assessed throughout the course rather than in a single end-point assessment.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Sutton Community Academy will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Hospitality team member - front-of-house or back-of-house roles in hotels and restaurants.
  • Waiting staff - serving food and drink in cafés, restaurants, or event venues.
  • Bar staff - drinks service in pubs, hotels, or hospitality venues.
  • Kitchen assistant - supporting chefs with food preparation and kitchen tasks.
  • Hotel receptionist - welcoming guests and handling bookings at the front desk.
  • Catering assistant - food and drink service in schools, hospitals, or workplace canteens.

What you could study next

A natural next step is the Level 2 Certificate or Diploma in Hospitality and Catering, which goes deeper into service skills and opens more roles. If you want to move into food preparation, a Level 2 Food Safety qualification is often required by employers. For supervisory roles, a Level 3 Hospitality Supervisor qualification builds on the foundation this course gives you.
