  • Contract caterers and hospitality within larger organisations
  • Employers running the Hospitality Team Member apprenticeship

  • A core set of units on working in hospitality, service standards and teamwork
  • Customer service and dealing with guests
  • Health, safety, hygiene and legal responsibilities in a hospitality setting
  • Communication and working under pressure
  • Then a specialist pathway, such as food and beverage service, alcoholic beverage and wine service, barista, concierge and guest services, conference and events or housekeeping

Questions

Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.

Which pathway should staff take?

Whichever matches the role. There are eleven, covering areas such as food and beverage service, wine service, barista, concierge and guest services, and conference and events. Tell us the job and we'll confirm the right one.

How is it assessed?

Through a portfolio of evidence gathered in the workplace — observations, witness statements and professional discussion — so staff keep working while they qualify.

Does it link to apprenticeships?

Yes. The diploma supports delivery of the Hospitality Team Member apprenticeship standard and can be used to check readiness for end-point assessment.

How long does it take?

It depends on the pathway and how quickly evidence builds. The concierge pathway, for example, carries 310 guided learning hours. We'll agree a realistic timescale with you.
