hospitality NVQs & Apprenticeships

keep both your staff and customers interested in your business with a Government funded NVQ

We have worked with a wide range of hospitality organisations in the North West Region, from small public houses to care homes, large hotels to exotic restaurants. Our range of hospitality qualifications cover a wide selection of different job roles; there could be a qualification suitable for every member of staff in the business.

Our hospitality learning programmes can help staff to achieve a higher level of competency, allowing the whole organisation to run more smoothly.

In the heart of cities, such as Manchester or Liverpool, it is important to stay ahead of the competition as there are few areas elsewhere in the country that demands higher levels of service. Equally, on the outskirts of the cities and in more rural areas it is important to attract new business as well as keep your regular customers satisfied, interested and of course, fed and watered!

Our Appenticeships include an NVQ, key skills in communication and application of number and Employers Rights and Responsibilities (ERRs) that cover industry specific regulations and employment law (depending upon qualification).

business & customer service NVQs & apprenticeships

customer service is more than just giving the customer what they want
its giving it to them, before they knew they wanted it

The North West has some of the busiest business areas in the UK. Our NVQs cover a wide range of business subjects that can help both those new to the environment as well as those who have greater experience in their roles. Every business needs a strong personal development foundation; give your staff the foundation that can support their careers and your business for years to come.


team leading & management NVQs & apprenticeships

a good leader can inspire, excite and develop a team
give your supervisors and managers the tools to lead your teams onwards and upwards

Through our management & team leading programmes we support and develop team leaders and managers to achieve their business and personal targets, as well as recognise and develop their team's individual needs and areas of improvement.

Many newly appointed team leaders were originally good members of staff that have been promoted. Our assess / train / assess model enables this group to focus on their needs and how to improve and develop.
