In order to support you, our dedicated work placement team will be on hand to help you find the right vacancy that suits your skillset and interests. If you are aged 16 to 18, you will be enrolled on a study programme. This will include retaking GCSEs or undertaking Functional Skills in English and maths if you haven’t already achieved a grade 4 or above. You will take part in activities that help you to develop your personal skills, such as building your character and confidence. This will help you to live well and move into your chosen career.
Entry to this course requires one reference and it is desirable that you can demonstrate 90% attendance. A professional cookery level 2 qualification and a GCSE in both English and maths at grade 4 or above is also required. Consideration will be given to all applicants over the age of 19 who do not hold formal English and maths qualifications.
This course is focused on developing your practical skills within a professional kitchen, alongside supportive general knowledge of key aspects of the catering industry. The practical units are assessed via observations. These will run alongside five units that are assignment based. The qualification is gained through the completion of these units. Practical assessments will be carried out as B-Tasks within various time frames, dependent on the complexity of the assessment. You will also carry out a four dish synoptic practical assessment to showcase your skills towards the end of your course.
