HOS2: Hospitality

Hospitality allows for a barista qualification through gateway as well. Ākonga doing this subject learn skills that can be put in their resumes for part time work at the food places around town and this could be helpful when they go on OE. Ākonga get to fill their kete with credits while learning so many skills. 

Ākonga will learn 

• Commercial cookery methods and techniques

• To present and garnish your dish on a plate and take a picture for evidence

• Most food cooked are served to “customers”

• Personal hygiene and food safety is expected and Food preparation hygiene procedures to be followed. 

• Cleaning up and placing equipment in the right place for next assessment

All of the work is internally assessed (no exams). Ākonga are expected to attend regularly in order to complete all the practical assessments as it is very difficult to catch students up for practical cooks. (I understand genuine absences and provisions will be made accordingly). These are unit standards so you have to get all the practical work (Ākonga must wear closed shoes), class work and assessments done in order to get the credits. 

Ākonga may have the opportunity to achieve credits related to the hospitality industry.
