Level 1 Hospitality

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Lenehan.

Hospitality Level 1

Course Code: 11HOS

Course outline: Hospitality provides an introduction to food and cooking in the context of the hospitality industry (food service, cafes, bars, hotels and tourism). This course places a strong emphasis on food preparation, personal, and kitchen safety.

Hospitality is a creative subject, so students will be encouraged to be creative as they plan, prepare, cook and present food during practical lessons, practical assessments, and as they participate in other school-wide events.  Bookwork is just as important as the practical lessons, so in Hospitality, students will be encouraged to follow cookery guidelines along with teacher instruction and demonstration to heighten their chances of success and enjoyment in the subject.

Key content: Students will learn about food preparation and service by cooking a variety of dishes, including savory and sweet foods. Students will also learn about health and safety procedures when preparing food, different styles of cooking (baking, frying, sautéing) and how to use a range of professional kitchen equipment. 

Key Skills: Hospitality is an exciting and fast paced industry, so students will need to work as part of team,  meet deadlines, and prepare and plan dishes to meet a set brief. Creativity, collaboration, time management and organisation are all skills that you will gain in this course.
