A new hospitality award has been launched by the National Hospitality Academy, The Professional Hospitality Award.
It is an accredited award issued by Laser Learning Awards, an awarding organisation approved by Ofqual, QAA and SIA.
The award has been created to recognise competence in the hospitality sector for people in or planning to enter the industry, and those looking to enter or move up into management.
The award is given on completion of a number of course units provided by the National Hospitality Academy, and the entire programme, including exams, which can be completed online.
The award comes with certificates for every course plus the Ofqual qualification for both the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders and the Level 3 Award in Supervising Food Safety. Once completed the additional overall award is awarded by Laser Learning Awards.
Founded in 2015, The National Hospitality Academy offers 70 courses for the hospitality industry, all available on a subscription basis. Rather than paying per course, the subscription structure enables employers to give their staff ongoing access to all the training they need to build their skills and further their careers.
The National Hospitality Academy’s founder Mark Bowden said: “We’re proud to launch this new award, which will help to make hospitality in the UK a more professional industry, encouraging new people to join and existing people to stay and move up.
“We provide a low-cost provision for training that enables anybody from a small café owner to the largest corporation to acquire the same level of training and the same access to the same tools that everybody else has got.
David Gittins, CEO at Laser Learning Awards, added: “We’re delighted to provide the accreditation for this comprehensive new award, which recognises skills and professionalism in the hospitality sector and provides a pathway for people looking to progress their careers.
“The online course delivery and online exams make the course highly accessible while providing people with a meaningful, externally accredited award.”
