Level 2 Hospitality

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: L. Twigg.

Recommended Prior Learning

There is an expectation that students will have a completed Level 1 Food, to provide the basis for more advanced work at this level.


For secondary school students who are interested in hospitality, and especially a career in cookery, the programme is an ideal introduction to the art and science of preparing, cooking and serving food.

With 41 Level 2 credits across 16 Unit Standards, the New Zealand Certificate in Hospitality your students will gain, not only gives them valuable life skills and knowledge, but could also be their entrée into a wide range of hospitality careers.

We have designed the programme, with input from schools, to support your students' employment opportunities in cookery. Graduates will be capable of operating at an entry level under general supervision. Your students could go on build their career through:

  • an Apprenticeship in Cookery, Catering Services, or Food & Beverage
  • Level 3 and 4 on-job qualifications in Cookery, Catering Services, or Food & Beverage Service.
