TRAINING

In 1996 Flair registered students for the N.V.T.I proficiency (practical only) and in 2011, Flair in collaboration with NVTI introduced a new training programme initially for one year. This programme broadens their horizon and gives them the basics.

With an increasing demand for qualified hotel staff in Ghana, Flair is at the moment collaborating with foreign investors to establish a hotel school to train personnel in different sectors of the hotel industry and will offer recognised professional programmes that will be consistent with international standards. Beyond this, the Flair Hotel School will aim to provide career support by partnering with businesses in the hotel and tourism industries in Ghana and the Western Africa sub-region.

In addition to our existing catering course, Flair has designed a Gourmet, Grooming and Etiquette course for housewives, female entrepreneurs and mature ladies who want to improve and add more excitement to their food preparation and presentation. This 3 months course takes place only on Saturdays. Flair has also successfully completed two successive “Fun Cookery” classes for children ranging from ages 10 to 15 years of age. Flair also has refresher courses for catering personnel, housekeepers, cook stewards and house help. Flair has designed a Ghanaian cuisine and local “specialities” course for Expatriates and Diplomatic wives.

To date Flair has trained over 5000 men and women who have not only come from Ghana but also from neighbouring Togo, Nigeria, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Zambia, Tanzania and the United Kingdom.

Many of the Flair graduates have established their own catering establishments and their counterparts are holding down responsible jobs in many of the 4 and 3 star Hotels, restaurants, Guest houses, canteens and catering sectors within a vast majority of both private and government institutions in Ghana.
