Programme of study

Course Outline

Our students study which are accredited by NCFE. All our courses are based on project-based learning with six projects taking place across the year. The projects build on prior knowledge, skills and behaviours and work towards producing a product or feature.

Our students start with the foundations and build on their existing skills from there. Developing skills for employment and having autonomy over the direction of the project and Café specials. It is such a delight to go to Food with Friends!
