“I left school at sixteen and didn’t know what to do with my life. Now I’ve achieved level 2 and 3 NVQs in Hospitality and I have a career. My ambition is to run my own place.” Lisa Williams
“You’re on the job learning, so why not gain a qualification at the same time? I love doing my job, I get such a buzz when it’s a busy night. It’s easy to learn with the other members of the team and we get great feedback with Amanda and Ellie. I’d recommend NVQs to anyone!” Terri Mitchell
Gareth Phillips, Director of Sales and Business Strategy for the awarding body, EDI:
“Qualifications in bar service are a growing sector of the market. Some industries require low levels of qualifications but high skills; bar service is a highly skilled role that requires knowledge on hygiene, customer service, law and drinks service. Once someone is skilled there is anecdotal evidence that they stay longer and perform better for customers. NVQs validate the skills people have and fill in the gaps.”
