Speed, accuracy and consistency are core to what you will learn and as your confidence grows, you will become more naturally innovative with textures and flavours and your constantly developing palate will be able to correct mistakes, adjust seasoning, explore alternatives, find your unique style and preference - all while learning how to lead and manage others in a safe and secure working environment which promotes effective working relationships. The culinary lecturers take every opportunity to expose you to as many commodities, trends, cooking methods and ‘chef's toys’ as possible and will also encourage and support you to take part in regional and national competitions. You will undertake lectures and practical sessions which are conducted in our state-of-the-art kitchens. All campuses operate a commercial working environment in which you can develop the skills required for a modern, professional kitchen and this will ensure that you get the opportunity to cover all complex preparation and cooking methods. A strong focus on implementing food safety, hazard analysis and an ever-increasing requirement for the safe management of allergenic ingredients will underpin everything that is taught and assessed.
