The course at the college lasts for eighteen months over a total of three semesters, starting both in January and July. The college offers what must be the most comprehensive catering course in the whole of Africa. Students are expected to get hands on knowledge of the catering industry not only from lectures at the college, but also on the floor of the school’s own restaurant, the Odd Plate, and in the newly built catering kitchens of Prue Leith Catering.

The Odd Plate Restaurant in the grounds of the college has some wonderful achievements. The restaurant is listed in the top ten restaurants of Gauteng and ranks among the top twenty restaurants in the whole of South Africa.

Students gain experience in the restaurant by preparing, cooking and serving the fine food that is to be found there, and more senior students can be found as Maitre d’Hotel, wine waiter and front of house.
While they are at the college, students study foods from many different parts of the world and spend some time in the college Boma where they are trained in the arts of Bush cooking and African cuisine.
