Workplace Training
If you’re employed in a hospitality environment* you can study towards a qualification while you work.
We offer a range of qualifications in food and hospitality, designed to be completed in the workplace.
These programmes are tailored to suit your individual needs, based on your workplace and experience. They are flexible and will have little impact on your work hours. Most of your learning will take place in the workplace, however during your training you’ll attend workshops and demonstrations at Ara. You’ll have two mentors; one at your workplace and one at Ara.
*To meet the entry criteria for these programmes, you must: be employed for a minimum of 20 hours a week, be a New Zealand resident and not be enrolled at secondary school or other tertiary-based study. Find out if you’re eligible for fees-free study.
