Hospitality Core Units    3rd  Edition
 

Hospitality Core Units is written for new industry trainees, students studying hospitality at high school, TAFE or on-the-job. The full colour, easy to follow format, with plenty of questions, exercises, case studies and activities is written in line with competency-based training and contains six chapters providing information to meet the requirements for:

-          The NSW Board of Studies Higher School Certificate hospitality framework,

-          and the Certificates II and III in Hospitality from

-          the SIT07 Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Package.:

What sets this book apart is its extensive industry audience. It is a great aid for teachers and on-the-job trainers to apply to student/trainee self directed activities. Its focus on current industry trends and operations combines with providing readers with practical activities and resources to research and seek additional information. The book has a real 'hands-on' approach, whether you are training in a five star hotel, or working at the local boatshed, stocking the galleys of weekend houseboats. All the knowledge and skills required to work professionally are contained between its covers.

Hospitality Core Units, 3rd Edition, ISBN 9780977591213 supports the following units of competence from SIT07 Tourism, Hospitality & Events training package. Combinations of these units make up the essential core of Certificates II & III in Hospitality. This book is a great resource for entry level training conducted on or off the job.

 Guy Bentley, Principal, Blue Mountains Hotel School

 This new edition is the best textbook available in Australia on “the essential ingredients” required by people entering the hospitality industry, and for those industry workers who are looking to update their skills and knowledge. It provides clear and current information in an easy to read format with plenty of student activities and valuable web links. It is an ideal resource for students looking for a thorough understanding of the service industry as part of a Certificate, Diploma or Bachelor program.
