Who Should Attend The Part-Time Course?

Any person already working in the culinary industry and who has a qualification in a kitchen discipline, but want to obtain a further qualification from a reputable chef school may apply. It is not a course for hobby cooks since it entails the same strict standards as our Grande Chef Course and is not for the faint-hearted. It will require a lot of dedication, but with the additional skills obtained, promotion or even your own restaurant will not be a mere dream.

The course is divided in two semesters and students write the City & Guilds IVQ in Food Preparation & Culinary Arts exam (7065) alongside the internal exams. As with any top rated chef’s school, a well-planned curriculum is offered to prepare the student in French cuisine, spice selection, sauce preparation, pastry chef skills and management of costs as well as stock.
