If you want to be a chef, the Level 3 Professional Cookery course is perfect for you. Learn to cook meat, fish, veggies, and more with our expert chefs. Improve your baking skills with tasty desserts, biscuits, and cakes. You’ll learn about food safety, menu planning, and healthy eating. Enjoy guest chef lessons and compete in cooking contests. Classes are in top-notch kitchens and our Open Kitchen restaurant.
While this course is practical, there will be continual assessment set by City and Guilds. The theory elements will underpin the skills you learn in practical lessons and are question and assignment based. You will build a portfolio of work as evidence of your learning.
We run a very professional department and your uniform and equipment is integral to that professionalism.
You will be given a list of the equipment and uniform you will be expected to provide, but you may be able to purchase this through applying to the College’s Learner Support Fund. We use a local supplier who gives a good discount to all our students.
On completion, you could progress onto employment as a chef within the hospitality and catering industry.
