“We strongly believe at The Crew Academy that practical learning is essential. Keeping this in mind when writing the coursework, we included real life practical skills training in our course to assist the students and allow them to hone in on the service skills that are needed to progress in their careers. Serving live lunches with a real professional chef, expertly prepared food and guests, within the training course, makes a huge difference. Whether you are new to the industry or more experienced, this course covers all aspects of service and housekeeping in comprehensive detail.”
