Hospitality Skills for Employment
Overview
A professional kitchen has many job roles and relies on the staff working together as a team. All roles are interlinked and even the top chefs rely on their kitchen porters and assistants to make everything run smoothly. This course will train you in the standards required in a professional kitchen from dress code to safety practices and basic food preparation techniques. As part of the course you will undertake a work placement where you will perform basic tasks within a professional kitchen and work as part of the team.
