Aprenticeship Programme Stories:

The course itself was very beneficial in both knowledge and practical side of the working in kitchens also including safety of working in a kitchen environment. Helping us back up what we’re cooking with the correct practices and history behind the dishes. People met along the way was a big bonus. (AZ)

The apprenticeship helped me in many ways it gave me a knowledge and an insight into how a business should be ran from top to bottom, it also gave me strong IT skills to help me progress in my job not only this but it gave me a new understanding of food and a different view of the industry. When I started the course I was a chef de partie in my job. The course gave me the chance to progress in my job and I've become a sous chef for a brand new kitchen working closely with my executive chef on running the kitchen. (IB)
