Hospitality and Catering

This apprenticeship is for individuals working within a commis chef environment.  A commis chef prepares food and carries out basic cooking tasks under the supervision of a more senior chef. The primary objective of the commis chef is to learn and understand how to carry out the basic functions in every section of the kitchen. 

This foundation level apprenticeship will combine day-release at college with workplace practice. You will develop your skills and competence to become a kitchen professional in such job roles as Craft Chef (fine dining), Kitchen Assistant (casual dining or restaurants, hotels and gastro pubs) or Commis Chef.

As an apprentice, your role will depend on your employer. The learning journey of any chef will vary considerably from one individual to the next; however, it is necessary to understand and have experience in the basics that the commis chef role provides, in order to progress to any future senior chef role.
