NCEA Level 2 New Zealand Certificate in Hospitality Course

New Zealand Certificate in Hospitality Level 2

This NZQA-approved course utilises Service IQ Cookery Level 2 Unit Standards which will be delivered over 2 years. The course is designed to give you an insight into aspects of working in a commercial kitchen and foundational cookery and front-of-house skills. 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 11 NZ Certificate in Hospitality course is assessed against nine Unit Standards which total 20 credits in the first year. 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.
