Overview

A Production Chef will learn all the basic cooking techniques required for working in a kitchen.

Choose this course if you work well as part of a team in time-bound and often challenging kitchen environments. You will have a passion for food, cooking and working towards standardised recipes and menus. If you want to expand your culinary knowledge in a fast-paced kitchen environment, look no further.

You will:

  • Focus on developing basic techniques as a chef
  • Ensure compliance to procedures, menu specifications and recipes
  • Adapt and produce dishes to meet special dietary, religious and allergenic requirements
  • Communicate internally and externally with customers and colleagues

Next steps: On completion you can progress to a Level 3 Apprenticeship as a Senior Production chef, or progress in to full time employment.

Entry Requirements

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

Facilities

Hospitality and Catering students will experience the real-life rush of a restaurant, by working in our very own @34 commercial facility, open to the public 5 days per week. Exeter College’s @34 fine dining, teaching and learning restaurant has achieved a prestigious AA College Rosette Award for its quality service and food.

Additional Costs

You will need to buy a basic clothing, safety shoes, knife set and textbook.
