We are able to offer a number of non-supervisory placements to students throughout the year. The majority of our placements are for a minimum of 6 months, however we can also offer a limited number of shorter placements.

Our aim is to combine a hands-on learning process with other training methods that will result in the student receiving a complete work and educational work experience.

Culinary Programme
Our culinary programme provides a comprehensive rotational programme through a variety of positions within the Kitchens. The Culinary programme is the only programme that can enable students to take a placement from two weeks to one year. Experience, therefore, will very much depend on the length of the placement.

The programme can include experience within the 2AA Rosette Restaurant Kitchen or the Banquet Kitchen.

Food & Beverage Programme
Students who are on placement for more than 6 months will be able to undertake their training in at least two areas within Food & Beverage. The areas of choice will be the 2AA Rosette Restaurant, the Cocktail Bar, Room Service or our Gourmet Suite.

The timing of the training in each area will depend on the business need at the time.

Housekeeping Programme
Students will be trained in all aspects of servicing the rooms to a 4* standard.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Students on placement for more than 6 weeks will participate in the Hotel Induction programme, which consists of a basic 2 day course followed by a further 4 days for students on a Food & Beverage Programme.

Students on placements of more than 6 months will also be able to participate in any in-house training programme which are relevant to them, and will be able to discuss with their mentor opportunities available within other departments e.g. Marketing, Sales, Front Office, Events, Personnel & Training.
