NCEA Level 3 Technology - Hospitality
Course Description

Students will complete a range of level 3 standards in hospitality that will provide a pathway to tertiary study in the hospitality sector or the skills to gain entry level jobs in the food industry. This course offers both practical and theoretical application of knowledge and skills required in the hospitality industry. Level 3 Hospitality recognises the competence, knowledge and skills required to successfully prepare and present food and beverage in a commercial kitchen.
