Student Profile

Te Marie Beirne - Hospitality (Youth Guarantee)

“I wanted to do a chef course but needed a written ticket first. A friend told me about this course for youth and I was ready to get out there a bit more. I had been home schooled so was used to studying and working by myself.”

“I love creating the meals, finding out what’s involved in that, and learning about the ingredients and the history of the food. The tutor is amazing and gets us to work as a real team. That’s a challenge for me because I’m used to being independent but we’re all a work in progress and we’re getting there. From here I want to move on to study at a higher level.”

“Once I get more training I’d love to travel and experience other food and cultures.”
