How To Be A Chef 12 week BTEC cooking programme

This FREE 12-week training programme runs on Wednesdays and Thursdays (10am – 4pm) for 12 weeks. You’ll learn to hold your own in a professional kitchen, learn a range of different cooking techniques and recipes, visit food producers, growers and factories, and work with mentors to create a CV and improve your interview skills.

Along the way, students will gather a Level 2 BTEC qualification and Level 2 Food and Hygiene certificate as well as the transferable skills that employers might look for – like team-working, taking the initiative, working without supervision and presentation skills.

There’s no requirement to know how to cook, and you don’t need specific qualifications or brilliant academic results. We’re more interested in your commitment, enthusiasm and motivation for attending the course.
