Course Details

Learning:

Students are divided into teaching groups of no more than 14, where they receive the best, hands on instruction and individual attention.
Silwood graduates are sought after, as they not only have highly developed culinary skills, but also have respect and understanding of the cost of food.
This is achieved by making the students responsible for the purchasing and costing of all the ingredients needed for practical classes, whilst staying within the given budget.
These skills are fundamental in the running of a successful kitchen or food business and are best taught by doing, rather than textbook reading.
