Apprenticeship Standard: Hospitality Team Member L2

The Level 2 Hospitality Team Member Apprenticeship will support you to work towards a dynamic, successful career in the Hospitality Industry within a customer facing role. You will learn all about the industry, the business, working with people, and develop good customer service skills.

Why Choose This Course?

The most important part of this programme is developing fantastic ‘hospitality’ skills and knowledge, such as recognising customer needs, knowing how to match them to the products and services of the business and working as part of a team to ensure that every customer, whether they are eating in a restaurant, drinking cocktails in a bar, ordering room service in a hotel or attending a business conference, feels welcomed and looked after. Depending on your pathway, you will learn skills in a range of areas, including food and beverage service, serving alcoholic beverages, barista, food preparation, housekeeping, concierge and guest services, reception, reservations and conference and banqueting.

This is a 12 month programme with an additional 3 months for End Point Assessment.
