• Setting up catering areas and ancillary premises
• Setting up different types of buffet

CCP 2 - Welcoming and advising customers and taking their orders:

• Welcoming customers and escorting them to their table

• Carry out the various types of table and buffet service
• Prepare, check and collect payment for a bill

Throughout the course, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs.

A work placement also enables students to develop their professional skills in a real-world setting. Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course.

Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real-world workplace.
