However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

Facilities

Hospitality and Catering students will experience the real-life rush of a restaurant, by working in our very own @34 commercial facility, open to the public 5 days per week. Exeter College’s @34 fine dining, teaching and learning restaurant has achieved a prestigious AA College Rosette Award for its quality service and food.

Additional Costs

You will need to purchase a full set of kitchen knives and kitchen whites (uniform) and two reference books.
