The Duke of Cornwall is a major Plymouth landmark; this historic hotel has been welcoming guests through its doors since 1863. The hotel prides itself on delivering exceptionally high levels of customer service and has been able to achieve this through its close working relationship with the College.
"As a founding member of the College's Employer Endorsement Scheme, we enjoy a great working relationship with the College"
"City College Plymouth students are trained to an extremely high standard, and they come into the workplace with real industry knowledge and skills. The training facilities at the College ensure that students get hands-on practical experience, which is invaluable to us as an employer."
"Our ethos is very much on training and we always look to the College to provide that training. We see City College Plymouth as a centre of excellence, providing the same quality and standards that we expect at the Duke of Cornwall."
Jonathan Morcom, Director, The Duke of Cornwall Hotel
City College Plymouth has helped staff at The Duke of Cornwall Hotel to become more motivated, more efficient and more satisfied with their roles - a feat achieved by offering training at the workplace, or in the College, to suit the needs of its workers.
"This is an excellent example of a hotel's commitment to the life long learning of their staff. The relationship with the Duke of Cornwall has been built over many years through our support of specialist training for the hospitality industry."
"The training and assessment we provide has given the hotel the perfect opportunity to confirm their employees' competence in the workplace, gain nationally recognised certification for their skills and, more importantly raise employee confidence and motivation."
Teresa Gardner, Head of Acedemy of Hospitality and Service Industry Skills, City College Plymouth
