core services
Hospitality, Education and Compliance Support For Regulated Industries
Our services have developed organically in response to real-world demand. Today, we support organisations with training solutions, apprenticeship delivery, internal quality assurance, and hospitality compliance.
Each service is designed to meet regulatory standards while remaining practical, clear, and operationally realistic.
Apprenticeship Delivery (Sub-Contracted)
We work in partnership with approved colleges, recruiting learners and delivering high-quality training without the administrative burden of direct government funding.
Internal Quality Assurance (IQA)
Mandatory for many funded and regulated programmes, our IQA services help colleges and training providers meet awarding body and regulatory requirements while ensuring training and qualifications are delivered consistently, robustly, and to the required standard.
Hospitality Compliance & Advisory
Food safety, health & safety, HACCP guidance, EHO inspection readiness, and operational workflow support.
Legal Requirement
First Aid Training That Fits Real Working Environments
First aid provision is a legal requirement under UK law - but how it’s delivered makes a significant difference to your business.
We specialise in Emergency First Aid at Work (1-day) and First Aid at Work (3-day) courses, delivered onsite to reduce downtime, travel costs, and operational disruption.
These courses are ideal for businesses with:
-
Shift-based teams
-
High staff turnover
-
Multiple locations or properties
We are actively developing a dedicated first aid training experience - including standalone branding, course-specific landing pages, and online booking to make compliance faster and easier for employers.
Our Approach
Flexible Delivery Built Around Your Business, Not Ours
At The Hospitality Training Company Ltd, flexibility isn’t an add-on, it’s how we work. We deliver your requirements when it works for your operation, whether that means early morning starts, evenings, or weekends.
We only take on work where we know we can genuinely support you. If a course, solution, or approach isn’t right for your business, we’ll say so saving you time, cost, and disruption.
This customer-first approach is why businesses continue to work with us long-term rather than searching for new providers every year.
apprenticeships
High-Quality Delivery Through Trusted Education Partnerships
Through established partnerships with approved and accredited colleges, we support the delivery of apprenticeships across the hospitality and education sectors.
Where appropriate, we recruit and support learners, refer them to registered apprenticeship providers, and deliver high-quality training as part of approved apprenticeship frameworks. This approach enables us to concentrate on delivering high-quality, practical training aligned with industry standards, while all funding, compliance, and certification requirements are managed by the registered provider.
Our collaborative model ensures apprentices receive consistent support, structured learning, and meaningful workplace development, while employers benefit from a compliant, well-managed apprenticeship pathway.

I completed my International Freight Forwarding Specialist apprenticeship last year and was fortunate to have James as my tutor. James was engaging, supportive, and genuinely invested in my progress throughout the programme. He always made time for me, consistently accommodating sessions around my work schedule, including before and after working hours when needed. His clear explanations, approachability, and commitment made the learning experience both enjoyable and rewarding, and working with him was an absolute pleasure.
