Modules from the full-time programmes are available on a part-time continuing professional development (CPD) basis.

The school offers short, specifically tailored courses designed to meet the needs of industry and has an active research and development service through its close ties to the DIT Food Product Development Centre.

Industry has been very supportive of the school and many of the leading organizations active in the hospitality, food and wine industry have acted as mentors to student on industry placements, served on advisory panels to help develop new programmes and donate scholarships and bursaries to encourage high performing students. This level of support from industry and the continued success of students and graduates is reassuring and indicates that the partnership between the school, students, graduates and industry is vibrant and dynamic and will continue to grow into the future to the mutual benefit of all.
