Final acceptance will be granted once the applicant presents a valid study permit.

    In three points describe what the word "CHEF" means to you:*

    Have you had any previous experience within the hospitality industry? If Yes, please specify:

    What motivates you?*

    Rate the following in order of importance to you personally from 1 to 5.
    (Number 1 being the most important)*

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?*

    You are in charge of a kitchen and you're in the following situation:
    Your staff are on strike and you have a lunch function booked for 50pax. How would you handle this situation?*

    What are your expectations of this industry / career?*

    Do you know and understand the responsibilities involved in this industry?*

    • Long irregular shift work and hours

    • Working on all public holidays, including Christmas and Easter

    • Respect for your superiors and the kitchen "brigade system"

    • Working in a team and being a team player

    Please comment below:

    Hygiene plays an important role and you need to realize that impeccably high levels of hygiene should be maintained at all times. Regular deck scrub is just one of ways we keep up with the high level of hygiene.

    You are expected to participate in this by scrubbing floors, walls, equipment etc. You should not see this as a punishment but rather a way of learning the correct way of maintaining a high standard of hygiene. Hygiene and cleaning of equipment and the kitchen will be part of your daily Institute life. Can you accept this learning and working environment?*

    In no less than a 100 words, write a short autobiography explaining your choice of career.*
