Cafe Skills – NZ Cert Level 3

Our Level 3 Café Skills is a continuation of our hospitality programme. Students will gain a deeper understanding of barista skills and food and beverage handling.

Café Skills Level 3 covers more about the products the students are working with and further improve on customer service skills.

More emphasis is placed on work experience at Level 3 so here students will learn real-world skills and gain hands-on experience while learning.

Café Skills is a fee-paying programme which we run from our site in Tauranga (CBD).
