HIT Training Launches Suite of Training Courses and Workshops to Upskill Hospitality Teams


HIT Training has launched a wide range of closed short courses, workshops and bespoke training programmes for hospitality businesses to strengthen the skills of their staff and further enhance their service offer.

Ideal for national or multi-site hospitality operators looking to maximise their apprenticeship programmes, the closed format enables employers to exclusively offer training to a select group of their own employees and tailor the programmes in line with their unique business needs.

The short courses are between one and four days in duration and, to ensure the training remains relevant as the industry develops, attendees leave with a Learning Transfer Pack containing templates and useful information to help them incorporate their new skills into their workplace. In addition, the courses, which can also be used to complement apprenticeship programmes, give learners the skills to share their expertise and mentor other apprentices and employees in their place of work.

Developed by HIT Training’s expert trainers – winners of the Foodservice Cateys 2018 Supplier Excellence award – the sessions cover an extensive range of skills designed to support hospitality professionals in their career development, from new employees to senior members of the team. Employers can also benefit from HIT Training’s Bespoke Training offer, whereby a personalised programme is developed to produce results that match individual business objectives.

Jill Whittaker, Managing Director at HIT Training, said: “We believe that training is invaluable to the future of the hospitality industry. After all, top performing staff mean employers are well placed to grow their business.

“The short courses offer a more flexible approach to training, giving hospitality companies the opportunity to pin-point specific business goals or areas for development and offer formalised training to help reach these targets, as and when required. The closed format is a great way to support skills in specific areas across a business or at job level, whether that’s strengthening senior management teams or helping those employees with no formal training progress into supervisor roles.”

If you or your team would benefit from a tailored offering of one of HIT Training’s short courses, hands-on workshops, or a bespoke training course developed to meet your business’ specific needs, please get in touch  by calling 0800 093 5892.
