We are fortunate to have a purpose-built professional hospitality suite. Add in specialised kit, gas hobs, industrial gelateria, salamander and industry grade cookware, and the canvas for culinary opportunity is complete. We also have access to the main cafeteria for formalised function work and service as well, not to mention the theatre for which we cater.
But while our modern kitchen premises, surrounded by our fledgling herb gardens, sits at the heart of our course, our other home is a stand-alone, airy, bright space to learn and debate the nuts and bolts of the hospitality industry. It is where our theory classes take place, punctuated with demonstrations and video clips.
We offer a short 40 hour IELTS exam preparation course, available to domestic and international students.
The full-time course includes more reading and writing as well as a range of options such as Grammar, Preparation for IELTS, English for Business, Vocabulary and Conversation. You can change your option regularly.
This course focuses on common language interaction in business, such as telephoning, writing business letters, meetings, and giving presentations. There is a strong focus on spoken skills and grammar, as well as an emphasis on formal writing and business-related vocabulary.
If you are planning to go on to further study in New Zealand after your English course, we strongly recommend our English for University course combined with IELTS preparation.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assesses the English language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as the language of communication.
