The delivery is a mixed delivery strategy that combines classroom, practical, and work placement components. Learning in the Classroom: The trainer will introduce the unit and the required knowledge to expand the student's grasp of issues. The trainer also takes students to interactive learning activities and digital challenge examinations that cover the lesson by referring to it online. Kitchen Management Practical Sessions: Students will receive training and assessment in a training kitchen for kitchen management practical workshops. Students will participate in simulated hospitality situations for other hospitality subjects. These workshops offer the opportunity to work on practical learning for each topic. In classes of no more than 20 students, practical activities, situations, and role plays are presented. Students are encouraged to work in pairs and small groups to help one another. Large and small commercial equipment is available in kitchens. Some units necessitate more hands-on experience than others.
