Housekeeping SVQ
What is special about this course?
Learn while you work with Modern Apprenticeships (MAs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). Modern apprenticeships in Scotland are available for people who are aged over 16 and in employment. With on-the-job training and regular meetings in the workplace you can gain a recognised qualification without studying full-time. Funding for MAs can be gained from Skills Development Scotland.
If you want to earn and learn, becoming a housekeeping apprentice is a great solution. Work based learning allows you to develop skills and knowledge and therefore gain a qualification whilst you are working. Hospitality is one of the fastest growing industries and having the qualifications to be trained in housekeeping will help you become more employable.
