TRAc takes hospitality industry to new heights

• Second batch of students passes out from TRAc hospitality NVQ program

The TRAc NVQ program graduated its second batch of students, providing participants with a suite of certificates, essential to be marketable and better their skills and knowledge in the hospitality industry.

The NVQ hospitality course offered by TRAc includes certificates in Housekeeping, Front Office, Bar Stewarding and Restaurant Service. They have included some additional key areas of focus that would engage students and give them special attention with their unique style of training and a good balance of local and foreign lecturers.

Speaking about the graduation TRAc CEO Natasha Bergenvik said: “Even though it isn’t essential for students to follow a course or get a qualification in the service industry to gain employment, we have leaders in the service industry praise the calibre of students that do pass out of TRAc. I am very proud of the second batch of students that have graduated, it is with great pleasure that I am able to say that every organisation we placed them in for their practical training segment has absorbed them as full time employees.”

Practical classes in restaurant service include some of the following training; participants are trained in the “service cycle” and learn everything from setting tables, to seating customers, to taking orders, to serving drinks, serving plates of food, clearing tables and finalising the customer account and then everything in between.

Participants are also trained in bar operations. Participants learn how to set up a bar for service, take drink orders and then prepare and serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Prepare and finalise customer accounts and process financial transaction. 

The basic requirement to follow the TRAc NVQ qualification is that you are 18 years or above; have passed your O-level exams; and have a very basic understanding of the English language and most importantly be willing to work hard to achieve your ambition.

Admissions are currently open for the fourth batch of TRAc NVQ qualification. For further details contact TRAc on 011-4326443 or visit their website http://www.trac-learning.com/.
