Jill Whittaker, managing director of HIT Training, said: “Apprenticeships are the future of the hospitality sector and we’re proud to be among the first to deliver the new standards, helping to reduce the skills gap and broaden opportunities for apprentices within the sector by raising the quality and relevance of training.”
HIT has introduces hospitality supervisor, team leader, chef de partie and customer service practitioner standards in addition to the commis chef and hospitality team member standards launched last year.
Whittaker said: “The standards have been created by a group of employers - known as ‘Trailblazers’ - meaning they’re very much based on tangible business needs and have been tailored to specific job roles.
“Their introduction will ensure that all apprenticeship training is high quality, rigorous and specifically crafted to develop the knowledge and skills required to work in the hospitality industry.”
The new standards will focus on one endpoint assessment, unlike the old framework, which was comprised of mandatory qualifications.
