Our cooking school's Chef training programme is delivered over a 78 week period. The students spend 1 day in off-the-job classes with 2 days in a kitchen environment (demonstration and commercial kitchens) with an average schedule of 21 hours per week.
When our students are in the commercial kitchen, they are required to complete a specified number of practical assessments. Once all assessments have been completed successfully, students receive this qualification and may choose to enter the workforce or continue towards completion of the remaining units required for the Diploma of Hospitality qualification (Commercial Cookery Stream) for an additional six months of study.
Commercial Cookery Students can seek employment in a commercial kitchen as a trainee chef, junior member of a kitchen in a variety of hospitality establishments, restaurants, airlines, catering, hotels, cafe's, bistro's, hospitals and any large workplace that caters for its staff and customers.
The Certificate IV in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) SIT40407 represents a qualification that is based on more sophisticated technical applications involving competencies requiring increased theoretical knowledge, applied in a non-routine environment and which involves team leadership, management and increased responsibility for better outcomes. It reflects the role of a qualified Chef.
This Course includes all units of competency from the Certificate III in Hospitality Commercial Cookery.
