Recommended Prior Learning

To have taken Food Technology in Yrs 9 and/or 10 could be an advantage. However, if you are a committed learner with the enthusiasm and drive for this subject, then this could be the subject for you. 


Hospitality Studies/Chef Training:

This course has a high practical emphasis, as well as theoretical work.  You will demonstrate your knowledge about the different topics by using textbooks and completing unit standard question papers.  Practical skills are taught in the singles, alongside the double periods where you will use these skills to prepare and present food according to the area of Hospitality Skills that you are studying at the time. 

Industry cooking standards are applied where meal planning, adapting and developing, and food presentation all plays a part.

The unit standards achieved contribute towards Polytechnic and Apprenticeship qualifications and NCEA.
