Course content

A Commis Chef is the most common starting position in many kitchens and in principle the most junior culinary role. The primary objective of the Commis Chef is to learn and understand how to carry out basic functions in every section of the kitchen. This gives the opportunity to experience, consider and value every section with a view to choosing an area where you feel most inspired.

You will cover a wide range of food preparation and cooking including: fish, shellfish, meat, poultry, game, offal, vegetables, sauces, stock, soup, rice, pasta/noodles, vegetable protein, bread and dough, pastry, cakes, sponges, biscuits, scones, cold and hot desserts.

E-portfolio and workplace observation. Guided learner hours are delivered during contracted working hours.

Your uniform will be provided by your employer. Equipment will be discussed at your induction session.
