SOUTHERN CAPE BUSINESS NEWS - Many NQtac graduates are happily working on ships, in the UK, Australia, the Netherlands and in many other parts of the world. "Our courses are internationally recognised and designed to equip students for a career in the hospitality industry."
Owner, Irene Smith explained how students are more readily employable after completing courses at NQtac: "NQtac is a hospitality training organisation, started in 1995, to develop and train employees from four and five star hotels throughout South Africa, in order for them to have formal, recognised national qualifications.
"Since then, we have stretched our boundaries to include international qualifications for hotels throughout Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania, Nigeria and the Seychelles."
She added, "In 2003, we opened our Hotel School in George to allow students to study in the same way as we train people in the industry - to obtain a working qualification."
NQtac students achieve international vocational qualifications, through City & Guilds of London, which entail a percentage of theory, and a percentage of actual working experience in operational hotels, restaurants and kitchens. This allows them to glide smoothly into any aspect of the hospitality industry on completion of their qualifications, with a CV containing Diploma qualifications and two to three years working experience.
NQtac also offers short courses - varying from 5 days to 16 weeks - in Housekeeping, Food and Beverage or Professional Cookery.
