Meet Josh

Josh first came to the College wanting to enhance a passion of his which has led on to discovering a new career. 

I came here to learn new skills that I didn’t have and wanted to do this programme to gain life skills. 

I started here on a Level 2 in Hospitality & Catering. The biggest thing I have learnt was how to gut a fish properly and about all the different knife cuts. I really enjoyed being around the other students in my class and being creative. 

The tutors are interactive and push you in the right direction.   

Since completing my programme I now work in front of house at Oaks Restaurant [MidKent College’s Maidstone Campus restaurant]. They also want me to start my apprenticeship in Hospitality & Catering Assistant Level 3 to learn new skills which I am looking forward to. I enjoy front of house because I get to interact with the customers and make their day. 

I feel that taking my previous programme before has really helped me with my current role as I have an understanding on want goes on in the kitchen. 

I am glad I came to MidKent College and everyone has been really friendly.
