The Hospitality sector

Once you’ve completed your training you can choose from a wide range of job roles and hospitality environments including conference and event centres, cruise ships, theme parks, tourist destinations and resorts as well as restaurants and hotels.

I chose to come to Southport College as it was recommended to me as the best place to accommodate the support needs I have and I am really glad I came here. My course has been great and I have really enjoyed myself. It has given me the experience I need to progress. I want to set up my own business traveling around the country catering for different events. The staff are great; if you ever need support they are there to help. They all want you to achieve the best that you can. The college is an excellent place to learn all the skills you need to succeed. I want to come back to Southport College to study the catering course so that I have an all-round knowledge of the industry before starting my business.

I decided on Southport College as it had the best course to suit my needs. The new kitchens and fully functioning Clouds restaurant are brilliant and the tutors are really kind and helpful. I enjoyed everything about my course, from the new friends I made to the amazing lessons. I’m going to university in September to study International Hospitality and Business Management and then would like to get a job in the hospitality team on a cruise ship so I can travel the world.
