This programme will begin with building on your foundation to work in a professional kitchen, you will then concentrate on the principles of French cuisine and a thorough grounding in culinary arts. Speed, accuracy and consistency are characteristics that you will develop and as your confidence grows, you learn to correct your mistakes, adjust seasoning and enjoy experimenting with flavours. Each week has a specific theme, starting with knife training and moving onto stock making, soups and classic sauces.
During the second year, you will focus on ingredients and understand advanced cookery techniques. Human Resources and kitchen management will also form an important part of skill development.
