SIT30821 – Certificate III In Commercial Cookery (Chef Apprenticeship)

Overview

The Certificate III in commercial Cookery provides an apprenticeship pathway for you to become a qualified chef, with up-to-date industry knowledge and practices. You will work with a mentor at your workplace and a mentor from Salford college.

An apprenticeship is for a nominal period of 4 years. As an apprentice, you and an employer have a formal agreement called a training contract and generally your off-job training will be completed in 3 years.

This training is offered through a rolling intake and therefore students can commence at any time.

This course reflects the role of commercial cooks who have a supervisory or team leading role in the kitchen and will use a wide range of well-developed cookery skills and sound knowledge of kitchen operations to prepare food and menu items. Using discretion and judgement, apprentices will work with some independence and under limited supervision using plans, policies and procedures to guide work activities.
