Lorna, HNC Professional Cookery
“Hospitality is a non-stop learning environment where you learn something new every day. When I started college, I didn’t know what to expect but It was a great, positive learning environment. Lecturers encouraged me to take on work experience throughout my course which helped me progress my practical skills in a number of different hospitality settings.”

Haley, BA (Hons) Event Management
“This course is helping to build my knowledge and make me a more confident event manager. Whilst undertaking this course it has given me the confidence to get involved with other projects around the college, such as Moray SOUP where I am now a member of the Board and also an active organiser of the event.”

Teresa, Professional Food and Beverage Service
"This course has a good combination of practical and theory. I really enjoyed working in the Beechtree Restaurant as part of my course as it gives you experience in a realistic kitchen environment.”

Alistair, Hospitality
"Our courses provide students with a great grounding and a relevant set of skills for a career in the hospitality industry. They also teach students valuable life skills such as teamwork and communication, whilst improving confidence and social skills in the process.”

Nicole, Professional Food and Beverage
“My course was the perfect first step into the hospitality world. It has taught me the basics of each sector of the industry to help develop a suitable career path as, when I started, I had a rough idea that I wanted to be a chef, but the course has certainly solidified this."

Katalin, HNC Professional Cookery
“Through studying this course I have gained a lot of new cookery techniques which I use nearly every day. The support given from lecturers was really great, and I am now more confident speaking to customers and also in running my own business. Hard work pays off!”
