You will study all aspects of kitchen and restaurant work, developing practical skills in areas such as customer care, food safety, health and safety, and the preparation and cookery of meat and poultry, fish, vegetables, pasta, rice, sauces, and soups. You will also gain experience in restaurant service, bar service, function service, and other industry-relevant skills.

The course combines theory and practical lessons, with assessment carried out in a live working environment. There are no formal written exams, allowing you to demonstrate your skills through real-world performance.

Training and assessment will take place mainly in our facility at our Cardiff City Centre Campus, "The Classroom", where our busy restaurant welcomes customers to lunches, dinners and events throughout the year.

Applicants would benefit from achieving 3 GCSEs Grades D-F. Alternatively, applicants will be considered based on interview and a satisfactory skills scan, with a desire and commitment to complete the course they would wish to study.
