I'm currently studying Cookery (Level 3) and it has been amazing. Thanks to my helpful and knowledgeable tutor who has really helped me build a strong foundation  I've been able to put into practical use at my job and helped me gain more responsibilities, like doing breakfast services. It was great to interact and serve customers and get some real hands on experience and feedback. I can't wait to do more and really test my skills.
