Advanced Professional Cookery (Level 3 City & Guilds Diploma) - Full-time
Course outline
This course is perfect if you love to cook, have a creative flair and want to further develop your cooking skills to move into a supervisory role in a professional kitchen.
You’ll learn advanced cookery techniques and combine interesting ingredients and flavours to create new dishes and menus. You’ll learn supervisory skills, as well as further developing your knowledge of food hygiene and health and safety within the catering and hospitality industry.
