Overview

Earn this qualification to attain the skills and knowledge essential for boosting confidence in a variety of kitchen operations and tasks. Learn fundamental culinary techniques, spice up your skills, and master the art of creating delectable dishes.

This qualification reflects the role of individuals working in kitchens who use a defined and limited range of food preparation and cookery skills to prepare food and menu items.  They are involved in mainly routine and repetitive tasks and work under direct supervision. This qualification does not meet the requirements for trade recognition as a cook, but can provide a pathway towards achieving that.
