Want your skills formally recognised?

If you have experience working in the hospitality industry, you may be able to gain recognition for your skills and knowledge – and stay in work while you study!

Using our Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) process, we can measure your existing knowledge against the Bachelor of Culinary Arts and give you academic credit towards this degree. 

This option is a one-year, distance programme with optional workshops in Dunedin – meaning that if you're employed, you don't have to leave your job to achieve a qualification.
