NCEA Level 2 Hospitality Food Studies

Course Description

Hospitality Food Studies

INTRODUCTION: 

This course utilises Service IQ Cookery Level 2 Unit Standards. The course is designed to give you an insight into aspects of working in a commercial kitchen and food product design. It will provide an introduction to the skills and knowledge required for someone considering a career in the Hospitality and/or Food Technology industry. Students will usually cook three times per week in the commercial kitchen.

The Year 12 Hospitality: Food Studies programme is assessed against four Unit Standards which total 8 credits. All work is internally assessed through written tests and practical tasks. Unit Standards have only one level of competency – standards are either Achieved or Not Achieved. 

Work throughout the year will be internally assessed through tests and practical tasks. There is no external assessment for this course.    

The course will be semesterised and co-exist with 12PCE (Practical Computing). This will mean that you will complete the cookery assessments in one semester and then swap to complete practical computing in the next semester (or vice versa). You will gain the benefits of both of these subjects throughout the year.


NOTE: For 2024 - This will be running as a Full Year Course
