To cater for its mixture of students, from youth to mature age, the campus contains a vast range of student services and facilities, including a student lounge, classrooms containing video and projection equipment and a fully equipped training kitchen and restaurant – Kickham’s Mill Restaurant.  To showcase the hospitality apprentices, this training restaurant offers fine dinning of an evening or lunch, however bookings are essential.

To ensure that training is relevant and responsive, the experienced campus staff have developed significant links with local government and the community sector, as well as the rural, manufacturing, agriculture, small business and tourism sectors.
