| Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| NCHMCT affiliation or university affiliation | Decides how your degree is recognised by employers and for higher study. |
| Training kitchens, bakery and restaurant labs | Practical hours are the course. Shared or token facilities show up in your skills. |
| Industrial training arrangement | Which hotel chains, for how long, paid or unpaid — ask for last year’s actual list. |
| Placement record by role, not by number | A high placement percentage means little if the roles are all unpaid trainee positions. |
