This practical course is the next step towards an exciting career in Catering.
Having learnt the basics at Level 1, you will get hands-on experience of cooking a range of dishes in our training and production kitchen, although you may be able to start at Level 2 if you have achieved the required grades, and not necessarily complete the Level 1 course.
The production kitchen supplies the College Restaurant – ‘Bistro at B63’ and our paying guests.
Throughout the course you will build on your knowledge of Food Safety and Health & Safety within the industry and alongside learning about kitchen operations, special attention will be given to costs and menu planning,
Preparing and cooking food is a vital part of this course and will include: stocks, soups & sauces, meat, poultry & fish, rice, pasta & grains, puddings & desserts and a variety of sweet treats.
All students are expected to undertake a work experience placement within a professional kitchen and have the opportunity to access the Stuart Deeley Professional Chef Academy.
This course is assessed through a combination of assignments, test, skills test and synoptic examinations.
You will need to have achieved at least 4 GCSEs at Grade 3 and above, including English and Maths. It is a requirement, however, that you retake GCSE English and Maths as part of your programme, if you do not have Grade 4. This will ensure you can progress to a Level 3 course or apprenticeship, and will improve your future employment prospects.
