On the Commis Chef course, you will explore and understand the range of job roles within a catering operation. You will spend time on each different section in the kitchen, learning how to produce a variety of dishes in line with current food trends, religious barriers and customer life choices whilst developing your culinary skills using the appropriate techniques and equipment. We will help you develop your knowledge of food safety legislation and expand your understanding of the nutritional content of food and how diet benefits health. You will learn how to forge positive professional relationships and identify your own future development plan under the guidance of a workplace Mentor. The Commis Chef programme is a solid foundation on which to build your career as a chef with support and guidance throughout your learning journey.
