This course is designed for those who have successfully completed a professional chef qualification at level 2 or have relevant trade experience and want to develop their craft. Throughout the course there are enrichment opportunities; including master classes from expert chocolatiers/pastry chefs, mini master class sessions from local pastry chefs, and employment opportunities within one of our careers fairs. This course is for those aged 19+ only.
You will continue to develop the skills learnt from your level 2 programme, by producing technically complex products, artisan bread, laminated pastry, sugar work and more complex desserts. Chocolate work will develop into the use of coloured cocoa butter to enhance the presentation and a greater understanding of tempering will be introduced. As a team we will produce all pastry and dessert products to the highest level for our award-winning taste restaurant dinner service on a rota basis, all of which will provide you with an impressive portfolio of recipes, methods, and techniques as you prepare for employment or further study at university.
Entry to this course requires one reference. It is desirable that you can demonstrate 90% attendance. Consideration will be given to all applicants over the age of 19 who do not hold formal English and maths qualifications. Either a level two in a relevant subject or substantial industry experience.
This course is very much focused on developing your practical skills within the professional kitchen, alongside developing your knowledge relating to the catering industry as a whole. The practical units are assessed via observations and run alongside the completion of a portfolio.
