As Hospitality professionals and teachers ourselves, we understand the importance of connecting the industry to the classroom.
Our Hospitality program connects students with leading restaurants within New Zealand’s hospitality industry.
Each Unit Standard is designed and filmed alongside our best and brightest hospitality professionals to ensure it aligns with industry best practices and reflects the current culinary trends and expectations.
Students get to see NZ’s top chefs demonstrate the dishes they will cook in class, hear stories and interviews from industry experts and up-and-comers, explore menus & food trends, and learn all about the exciting opportunities that await them in our thriving Hospitality sector.
We don't teach to the assessment. While we give you everything you need for your hospitality assessments, we also give you so much more! Each unit draws on our Food Literacy Framework to provide a holistic learning experience that prepares students for careers and life.

Hear from those who’ve experienced the EATucation difference!
"EATucation has saved our school so much time and money! I can't believe we paid so much for such basic resources and support in the past. I have been given back my Sundays, which used to be spent planning for the week ahead. Student engagement is so much higher, and the recipes and demo videos are spot on, and all NZ focused."
"What EATucation is doing is filling a serious gap. They're connecting the classroom to industry and making a difference in students' and teachers' lives. They've made it all so streamlined for teachers. It's all there, ready to go. I think it's the way to go, big time."
"We love that you can start the kids with the Year 9 & 10 program, which then leads perfectly into Hospo. It's a one-stop shop, all for such a great price! Thank you for building this amazing program, which we have all needed for so long! Great videos, awesome connection to the industry at every step, so easy to use, brilliant games and activities, dunno what else to say! If you're not using EATucation, you seriously should be!"
"We love everything about the programme. The detailed planning, achievement objectives, learning intentions, success criteria and lesson overviews provide teachers and students with clear goals for each session. The videos allow my students to be well planned and prepared. The recipes are affordable and open students up to new ideas."
"I love the variety of activities provided. I like that I have choices and inspiration for activities and recipes, and I can choose what I want to use for each unit. I love your videos because they are targeted to NZ students and are spot on for the unit being taught."
"I absolutely love that you include everything that is needed to present a lesson...activities, videos, notes, workbook, etc. Being able to adapt the resources to fit my class and programme. Covering every year level from ECE to NCEA is fantastic for an Area school. Having a reasonable fee structure that makes it easy to access is especially important for Area schools."
"As a Head of Department, I would absolutely recommend it. I would say to heads of department, go for it, you won't regret it. It's better, less expensive, the kids are more engaged, and really, your teachers are going to be far less stressed and happy, and that's got to be a good thing."
"The video demos are awesome, and some of the lesson based activities are really valuable. Also, the relief lessons are a mint feature."
"A lot of my students take the recipes home to cook for their families. The resources are amazing and reinforce the learning in our practical sessions. The Tech programmes are awesome for teaching students the technology process, and many of the skills can be applied to real-life learning. All of my students are really enjoying EATucation."
"The resources provided by EATucation are clear and concise, offering ample opportunities to engage students. Also, the flexibility within the lessons to adapt to the specific needs of students and classes is a significant advantage."
"The addition of relief lessons is a fantastic and innovative idea, providing a valuable resource for times of illness or absence. Furthermore, I greatly appreciate the advanced pre-planning information regarding ingredients and preparation, which allows me to be well-prepared. EATucation has also effectively resolved any issues that have arisen, even when they are busy. I have thoroughly enjoyed working through the selected materials and look forward to continuing next term."
"From what I've noticed as a head of department, the student engagement is huge, compared to previous years. The Literacy links and their frameworks are fantastic. The food tech teacher has way more time to prepare, organise students, and mark work, and they are less stressed, which is huge. It's a workload issue. They are considerably less expensive than our previous provider, and the resources are far better - really, really good resources. I'm very impressed with that.
"Teaching has become more enjoyable having all the resources and knowledge from your program. It's given me the support I need to be a better teacher for my students. Thank you!"
"As an Area School teacher, I can use your resources across all the different year levels.
You have been a total lifesaver! Please keep it up!!"
"OMG - love that you have relief lessons too!"
"We love having the video demonstrations of the practical lessons! It saves so much time and also resources, and it's amazing to have a program where everything lines up and is connected, from videos to activities to assessments. And all NZ-based, too! Such a cool idea and so needed! Thanks for all the support you give to teachers!"
"The video demos are awesome, and the lesson-based activities are such a time saver. Also, the relief lessons are a good feature."
"It's so mint to see te reo and tikanga included throughout! Lots of support for teachers just starting this journey too and for the students also!"
"The ākonga workbooks are awesome! Great clear sequence of lessons, clear objectives, and the cookery demonstrations videos are epic, kids are loving them!"
