"When working in the workshop it feels like you are working in a proper garage." JADEN PATEL, MOTOR VEHICLE STUDENT
Hospitality Supervision & Leadership - Level 3 Diploma
Jerome says: "I chose to study at Merton College because it has excellent facilities for my Hospitality & Catering course. The College is very welcoming and my tutors are very supportive. As part of my course, I deliver a service to customers that visit the Taste Restaurant and I really enjoy interacting with them. We regularly host events and I like working as a team to co-ordinate these events. For example, we are often visited by members of the local community who come to the restaurant for lunch."
Once Jerome has completed his Diploma, he intends to study a Higher Level Apprenticeship in Hospitality and work for a major restaurant chain. His ultimate goal is to own a chain of restaurants one day.
I joined the course as I’d heard from family and friends that Kingston College was the “place to be” to study a Motor Vehicle course. I’m enjoying the course and finding it very informative - I particularly enjoy the practicals. I didn’t manage to come to the College Open Days due to Covid 19 restrictions but I’m really impressed by the very well-equipped Motor Vehicle workshops with all the tools and equipment that you need. When working in the workshop it feels like you are working in a proper garage. All the teaching staff are very helpful.
