Choosing the Right Hospitality Course in South Africa

Deciding what to do after you leave high school can be really tough. Some people are lucky and know exactly where they want to go and what they want to do. Others are faced with sleepless nights, tossing and turning over which course they want to take and whether or not this is the right plan for them. Below are a few tips that will prove useful to anyone who finds themself in such a position.

• What?

It is of utmost importance to make sure that the course of study chosen is one that you will enjoy. This will help to keep your levels of motivation up throughout the course, as the idea of the final outcome is something to look forward to, whether it’s a career in surgery or hotel management.

• Where?

Choosing an institution that you think you will be happy in is just as important as choosing one with a good reputation. Considering the department, lecturers and programmes are all important factors in making the decision regarding which environment suits you best. For example, if you want to get your international hospitality management degree, you need to consider which institutions provide practical experience and are recognised overseas.

• How?

One of the most difficult aspects of furthering one’s education is figuring out how to fund it. The cost of tertiary education has shot up drastically in the past few years, with the average undergraduate degree now costing roughly R80 000. Student loans, bank loans and part-time jobs are most definitely options that need to be considered.

• When?

One of the biggest mistakes that school-leavers make is thinking that they have to go and study straight away. Some people need to take a year or two’s gap between Grade 12 and 1^st year. This allows them to gain some perspective and decide whether or not they are going into the right field of study. Furthermore, it gives them time to earn some money in a part or full-time job, helping them to reduce the financial pressures that first year can bring.

Too many people leave too much riding on the fact that they will figure out which career path they are best suited to on their first attempt. What is important to remember is that universities and colleges can generally be very flexible and accommodating with students who wish to change direction at a later stage (with a few exceptions, depending on how big the change is.). Stressing about the initial decision will only lead to panic and irrational thought, causing many people to choose a path that they are simply unhappy with.

Amarula Delicious Desserts

When you can’t decide between a fresh fruit cocktail and a delicious, creamy dessert then why not combine the two? Okay, so this can’t be entirely possible – this can be potentially horrible, but you can add a little bit of something to your dessert to spice it up. One of the best liqueur’s to add to any dessert is without a doubt Amarula; it’s smooth and sweet taste complements a dessert wonderfully.

The recipe below is for Amarula Cream Truffles; these will be gobbled up in one go and your family and friends will be begging you for more.

Ingredients:

1 kg dark chocolate

1 ½ cups fresh cream

500 g butter

1 cup Amarula cream liqueur

Cocoa powder

Finely ground almonds

Instructions:

    Break up the chocolate into tiny pieces.

    In a saucepan with a thick bottom, melt the chocolate and the cream together over a low heat; give the chocolate a stir with a fork now and then.

    Cut up the butter and when the mixture has almost melted add the butter and stir until the mixture is smooth; keep the heat very gentle.

    Remove from heat and stir in the Amarula cream.

    Let the mixture cool and set – but not for too long – in the fridge.

    On the side prepare the sifted cocoa powder and finely ground almonds.

    Use a small spoon to scoop out walnut-sized pieces of the chocolate mixture, shape into balls or oval sizes and roll each one in the cocoa and almonds.

Chocolate Truffles
You can cover your truffles with glaze cherries or any array of other toppings; anything will go with this delicious dessert. These can be frozen, but just remember to serve them at room temperature. Amarula Cream Truffles are sure to be just as exciting as a fancy cocktail for your guests or family; it’s the perfect treat for any special occasion.

But do remember that there are many marula fruit cocktails for you to enjoy; which you can easily make at home. Amarula can be used in various other dishes too – they can even be used in some cuisine dishes for you and your family, but let’s face it, a naughty dessert will be best.

If you are going for a Logitstics Job in Cape Town you need to have the perfect dress, and what better way that to buy a cocktail dress and formalize it with a neat jacket. Rather look good and make that first impression than not making the effort.

Concrete and developement

Ever dreamed of finding those perfect Property developers in Cape Town? I know what you mean because I was stumped on whether or not to buy some property for sale. But do we buy or do we just find some decent commercial property developers to make a home or office block for you. 

But to develop properties you need some real equipment that can help you get your projects on the go with ease. Concrete crushing equipment will help get that old foundation sorted out before the new one. Maybe you need mobile jaw crushers to get things done faster.

Christmas Vacation Plans

December usually means holidays and for those who plan on taking a tour should head to the garden route and stay at one of the many Cape Town Lodges. I promise you will not be disappointed. Once in Cape Town organize a few tours to the garden Route.

For those not interested in the lovely Garden Route why not enjoy a few nights stay in some awesome drakensburg lodges and from there head on over to the kruger national park game lodge and experience some of the wildlife that makes Africa.

Jobs and homes

Ever dreamed of buying your family home? I have a suggestion look at Tamboerskloof real estate as there are some really amazing properties for sale there. I myself aim to buy at least one Tamboerskloof property one day. Obviously there are others to choose from.

In order to buy that perfect home one needs to find that dream job that just makes it all the more worthy. Have you ever looked at Logistics Jobs in Cape Town for example? Seems to be a few going at the moment. Obviously you may have a spouse with a really great job and you just want to talk to people so why not have a look for a call centre jobs in Cape Town
