Hospitality & Catering

Level 1/ Level 2 Vocational Award

Exam Board: WJEC Eduqas

Lead Teacher: Mrs M van den Heever

This qualification is worth one GCSE and comprises of two units, with one (Unit 1: The Hospitality and Catering Industry) being an external exam, and one unit (Unit 2: Hospitality & Catering in Action) being an internal extended assignment.  Unit 1 is taught in Year 10 of the course, as students will sit the external exam in June. Students will have another opportunity to re sit this exam in the February of Year 11, in order to improve their grades.

Unit 2 is an extended assignment, which is taught in both Y10 and Y11. Students are given an authorised assignment brief as set out by the exam board, whereby they are tasked to extend their prior learning by way of demonstrating their understanding of not only the industry sector as a whole, but by also demonstrating their acquired practical skills to a high level of expertise.
