For these students the material will serve as a refresher on the more traditional aspects of the trade and is sure to offer new insights as it covers a broad range of subjects. Since the course must serve a variety of career choices, students whose interests lie in a particular direction, or who show an aptitude for a particular subject, will be advised on how to further their studies in their chosen field.All candidates will be provided with printed training material.  Practical tests will be based on skills which will be demonstrated in class. Students will have the opportunity to duplicate these skills under the guidance of an instructor before being tested on them.

It must be stressed however, that we will be testing content and that marks will not be awarded for spelling or grammar. Students will be required to meet minimum averages throughout the course, but are welcome to discuss their progress with either their trainer or the Private Hotel School Management.

Additional research may be required in order to complete assignments. Students may elect to do this research online, in libraries or by consulting local bookshops.
