Training    
Flair’s forte is catering par excellence of both continental and Ghanaian cuisine with the novel introduction of “on-the-job” training for students who participate in the diverse catering functions. In 1972, the Flair school originated because of the Executive Chairman’s Christian belief in sharing knowledge, empowering and equipping the youth with practical skills for the hospitality and catering industry.
 
In 1988 the school registered with the National Vocational Training Institute (N.V.T.I) for the Grade II Trade Test certification (Theory & Practical). There are two streams of students those who are attached to the Flair kitchen and do practical cookery only and the classroom students who study various other subjects. Over the years the school syllabus has been expanded to include related subjects from Home Management to Grooming with suitably qualified staff teaching the many subjects which would eventually equip the students to develop their skills in academic or practical fields.
Syllabus:

• Customer Care
• Cookery Theory/Nutrition
• Cookery Practical
• Food & Beverage Service
• Grooming & Deportment
• Accommodation & Housekeeping
• Function Catering
• Health Science/ First Aid /Hygiene
 
In 1996 Flair registered students for the N.V.T.I proficiency (practical only) and two years ago Flair introduced the City & Guilds 812/1 cookery course. 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. 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 1500 boys and girls who have not only come from Ghana but also from 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.
