Entry Criteria

Level 2 Hospitality is an open entry course, although knowledge and skills gained through the Level 1 Food and Hospitality course would be beneficial as standards are taught in progression.

This subject is on a vocational pathway that does not lead to a University Approved subject in Year 13 and so entry is conditional upon application  to ensure the correct pathway is being followed.

This is a limited entry course.

Limited Entry Courses: While Westlake endevours to provide all students with their first choices, in some courses there are limits for specialist staffing and/or rooming and equipment reasons. When student numbers exceed these limits students places will be determined by ballot. When students have selected more than one limited entry course, we will aim to place students in at least one of these courses. Students who have taken the subject in the previous year will have priority entry.
