We train people in all aspects of café and catering, including:

- Customer service e.g. serving customers, waitressing
- Using a till
- Kitchen assistant duties e.g. washing up, using a dishwasher, cleaning

We will work with each trainee to create a personal training and development plan, identifying skills to be learnt. This plan will chart progress and development of skills and experience.
