Why study Hospitality and Catering with Weston College?
Monthly guest masterclasses
As part of the full-time and apprenticeship cookery/chef courses you will have the opportunity to take part in monthly masterclasses at Nisbets National Equipment Centre (NCEC), delivered by industry professionals.
The NCEC was opened in 2017 to meet the demand for an innovation hub for catering professionals. We will be using the high-tech 100m2 demonstration kitchen and training facility each month allowing you access to the best catering equipment and products on the market.
These masterclasses include:
- Opportunities to meet and learn from Michelin-starred chefs
