We are very excited for this new development at EMA as we look to continue offering the best possible opportunities for the young people who attend either in Moreton near Dorchester, or Gillingham North Dorset. With both classroom and real world hospitality settings in the form of cafés open to the public, our unique environments are proven to help build confidence, skills, and support students on the journey to independence and a career.
“We are very much looking forward to welcoming EMA as a CTH Approved Teaching Centre, so that they can teach our Ofqual-regulated Hospitality qualifications to their students. Our strong belief is that every single learner is unique and each will have useful skills and qualities that really lend themselves to working successfully in the hospitality sector.” – Steve Beckworth, Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality

“I am super excited about the new offering for September. The new teaching kitchen is going to give the students the most incredible opportunity to learn to cook within a purpose built facility and gain all the skills they need to gain independence as well as achieving a recognised culinary qualification. This combined with the Barista and Housekeeping qualifications the students can graduate from EMA with an impressive portfolio of skills.
The CTH endorsement is an internationally recognised stamp of quality for these areas of learning and I am delighted to be working with them again. I can’t wait to get started!”
