Hospitality Operations NC SCQF Level 6

What is special about this course?


As with the Level 5 Course, this course provides an overview of the hospitality industry with a focus on key soft and transferable skills common to all customer-facing roles.  However, this Level 6 programme allows a degree of technical specialism in front of house and Events.

Special features:

  • Taught by experienced, qualified Hospitality Lecturers
  • Great starting point for various career paths.
  • Focus on building confidence and other relevant soft skills

There will be external engagement whenever possible, and this might include Field Trips, Guest Lectures and involvement with College Events and functions.
