The training covers Food and Wine Service; Communication skills; Customer Service; Health & Safety, Basic Food Hygiene and interpersonal skills (appearance, interview skills etc.).

A 60 hour version of the same programme is also available and has been recently piloted with Job Centre Plus to encourage the unemployed to consider a position in the hospitality industry.
