Looking to take the next step in your hospitality career? This Level 3 apprenticeship is designed for those ready to move into a supervisory or team leader role in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.
Whether you’re running shifts, supporting the management team, or leading by example during busy service periods, you’ll develop the skills and confidence to thrive under pressure—and help your team do the same.
This nationally recognised qualification is perfect for people already working in hospitality who are ready for more responsibility and want to progress into management.
Why choose this apprenticeship?
You’ll build a portfolio throughout your apprenticeship to show your knowledge, skills, and behaviours. This will help prepare you for the end-point assessment, which includes a practical observation, a business project, and a professional discussion with an independent assessor.
The core focus areas include:
You’ll also explore content tailored to your specific workplace, whether you’re in a restaurant, hotel, bar or other venue.
You will need to have relevant employment, and entry is subject to interview and assessment.
GCSE English and maths grade 4/C or above (or Level 2 functional skills) are preferred
On successful completation of this apprenticeship, you’ll be in a strong position to take on more senior roles in the industry. Many apprentices go on to become assistant managers or continue into higher-level hospitality qualifications.
Your progress will be continuously monitored and supported by a Professional Trainer.
Depending on the standard, we assess your competence through various methods, such as practical exams, assignments, interviews, project work, presentations or observations and we will also evaluate your portfolio of evidence, which documents your learning and progress throughout your apprenticeship with us.
The apprenticeship end-point assessment is the final evaluation stage of your apprenticeship programme. It's designed to determine whether you have achieved the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to meet the apprenticeship standard and perform the job role independently.
Successful completion of the end-point assessment is required to receive certification.
