Professional Chef

In your first year you’ll take the essential Aspiring Chef (Level 4) course, where we’ll teach you about the fundamentals of working in a commercial kitchen and you’ll learn how to cook all kinds of tasty dishes, from sauces and soups through to meat and seafood.

You’ll start with what you need to know to be a Junior Commis Chef, then progress through the various skills needed to be a Commis Chef, Demi Chef de Partie and then a Chef de Partie.

In year two you’ll take the Level 5 International Chef course, learning about a range of international cuisines, the finer points of running a commercial kitchen and how to create an original menu. We’ll also teach you about kitchen management, production systems and kitchen design.

In total, you’ll spend 10 weeks doing an internship over a two year period, so you’ll have plenty of real world experience in the kitchen to get your career underway.
