Opportunities in hospitality and catering have taken off. This international industry, which consists of all types of establishments providing food, drink or accommodation, has grown in our area and is crying out for qualified staff. The UK is short of approximately 5000 chefs – and if you fancy emigrating to Australia, New Zealand or Canada, catering qualifications will currently earn you more welcome points than a lawyer.

If you’re in your element delivering a professional service or you thrive in a busy kitchen, Sussex Coast College Hastings is an excellent starting point for your career. You will be taught by industry professionals in the College’s fantastic new facilities: learners love the theatre and finishing kitchens and our modern restaurant is always fully booked, having been flexibly designed to cater for public diners as well as private functions.

Experience matters and as well as loads of in-house practice we have the links to arrange work placements and apprenticeships with leading local businesses, exchange programmes with other European countries and the opportunity to shine in regional and national competitions.
