The curriculum is designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. Teaching takes place in modern classrooms as well as in our advanced kitchens and restaurants, providing students with the facilities and expertise required to excel in the hospitality sector.

TBC is required by Pearson to ensure that every student we enroll has a reasonable expectation of success on the programme. All applicants must be at least 18 years of age.
Applicants aged over 21 years at the start of their course and who have been out of education for at least three years are classed as ‘mature students’. The prior qualifications and/ or work experience of such applicants will be reviewed by the College to consider if their individual profile shows they have the potential to achieve the qualification. If we believe it does and all other requirements of the admissions process are met, such applicants may be enrolled.
For those who have recently been in education, the entry profile is likely to include one of the following:
- A relevant BTEC Level 3 qualification
- A GCE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject. This profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades A* to C and/or 9 to 4 (or equivalent) in subjects such as Maths and English
- Other related Level 3 qualifications
- An Access to Higher Education Diploma awarded by an approved further education institution
- Related work experience
- An international equivalent of the above.
Our students will be fully equipped to create their own company or progress to a career in roles such as (but not limited to):
