    Course details

    The National Chef Traineeship is designed for aspiring chefs with a creative passion and flair for working with food in the tourism industry. The traineeship is designed to enable chefs to learn on the job while formalising their training on a day release basis in college. This programme is based on solid foundation of practical culinary skills and techniques reinforced by a formal academic qualification.

    The Programme:

    During the two years of this programme trainees learn fundamental culinary techniques, the theory and practice of professional cookery, menu design, cost control, food science and health and safety supported by academic knowledge.

    Delivery:

    The course is delivered by a combination of work based learning with college based attendance on a day release basis with a block period of full time college based learning at the beginning and end of each academic year. The work based learning must be supported throughout the first two years by an designated mentor in the workplace.
