Modern Apprenticeship: Hospitality Services SCQF Level 5

What is special about this course?

The Diploma for Hospitality Team Member SCQF Level 5 is designed to support the development of candidates working in hospitality roles such as a bartender, housekeeper, waiter, barista and guest services. 

This Modern Apprenticeship offers a fantastic opportunity for those working in hospitality to gain a recognised qualification by building a portfolio of evidence showcasing their competency in the different work activity they undertake, developing knowledge skills and expertise required by this fast-paced industry. 

Whether working in a small independent hospitality business, or a large franchise, this apprenticeship can be shaped around the individual, their job role, and their employer, offering a unique opportunity to increase skills and enhance behaviours. 

Entry requirements

No prior qualifications are required to undertake this qualification; however, candidates must be in a suitable job role, where they are carrying out relevant tasks and responsibilities, which allow them to gather the required evidence, and have been so for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to commencing the qualification.
