About Legend Hospitality School
Legend Hospitality School commenced operation in 2007 as a joint venture through Food and Beverage Institute and Legend Hospitality Group and has already made a huge impact in training circles. Legend Hospitality School is proudly a Stand Alone City & Guilds Accredited Centre and has been in operation since 2007, and has recently become a CATHSSETA Registered Approved Centre.
The Academy is situated in the globally recognized Entabeni Safari Conservancy, between the two bushveld towns of Mookgopong & Mokopane, Limpopo province, South Africa. Being a mere two hours drive from Pretoria, and one hour from Polokwane, the facility houses its very own state of the art training-kitchen, fully equipped restaurant (which doubles up as the lodge’s restaurant), communal relaxation area and a comfortable lecture room with full Wi-Fi access. The student facilities include on-site cosy dormitory rooms with en-suite showers and toilet facilities. These dormitory rooms offer spectacular views over the natural Bushveld and free-roaming game. Legend Hospitality School offers an on-site laundry facility, courtyard area and casual relaxation area for students’ recreation and utilisation.
The Legend Hospitality School prides itself in its pleasant home-like atmosphere that contributes towards the encouragement of dedicated learning and training throughout each student’s course-duration. The tranquil location and practical setup of the school allows for the fully dedicated student to learn, work and enjoy student-life to the fullest. Our students are commonly offered employment during practical work experience and have been complimented as very eager, skilled and established young individuals within the Hospitality Industry.
Our Hospitality courses are facilitated at the school through both theoretical and practical lectures, classes, demonstrations and functions. The advantage for our students is that our practical lessons and on-the-job training is facilitated and practiced within all Legend Hospitality Group-Properties throughout Southern Africa – but especially at the onsite four- and five-star lodges & Resort next-door. Smaller group-classes also ensure that students receive more one-on-one attention in a relaxed setting.
Our students are equipped with the theoretical knowledge and background of operations within the Hospitality Industry whilst being physically exposed to the actual operations within various hotels and lodges. The fact that we have access to all of Legend Hospitality Group’s excellent establishments, students are regularly given the opportunity to practice their attained skills and be part of the working teams at numerous VIP functions, weddings, conferences, product launches, and sporting-events.
The LHSA-students are carefully screened and selected from applicants with the vision of moulding and shaping their skills & talents to produce expert hoteliers, chefs and restaurateurs who can later be employed by LHG (Legend Hospitality Group) as a twofold-benefit. Filtering these expertise and skills back into Legend Hospitality Group ensures that the portfolio of properties are filled with qualified, capable & knowledgeable team-members that assist in upholding & further enhancing the current group standard.
