NCEA Level 3 Food and Hospitality Technology

At Level 3 students will be offered either a Hospitality Unit standards course or a Home Economics Achievement standards course, depending on the interest of the class.

The Hospitality course allows students to continue to develop their practical skills in the kitchen with weekly cooking periods and further increase their knowledge of culinary terms, coffee origins and production and more in-depth knowledge of commercial kitchen food safety.

For those who are wanting to go onto tertiary education, the Home Economics achievement standards University course is made up of 2 internal papers and 1 external paper totalling 14 credits which allow students to gain course endorsement. 

There is also the opportunity to complete some Hospitality papers in Term 3 to add to credits to this course.
