What our students say
Abbie Newsam

As soon as I saw the restaurant and the kitchen, I knew hospitality was taken seriously here and that’s what I needed. The facilities are amazing and there’s a focus on everything whether that be napkin folding, table settings or the correct way to pour wine. The course has been a mixture of everything I wanted to do for my future and I'll take the skills and confidence I've gained with me on to Concord Hotels' Management Development Programme.
