Level 1 in Professional Cookery

You will need 2 GCSEs at grade 3 (D) or above. Potential candidates must demonstrate their commitment and enthusiasm towards a career within the catering industry. Each candidate will be considered on their experience, suitability, school reference showing good attendance and behaviour. In addition to the entry qualifications listed, the offer of a place on the course is subject to the outcomes of initial assessment, which will be taken at the College as part of the admissions process. Please note that entry criteria may vary quite significantly between courses at the same level. This is to take account of the specific skills needed for success on particular courses, the length of the course and the requirements for progression to the next level. Entry criteria are given as a guide, and the exact requirements in order to obtain a place on a particular course will be confirmed following attendance at a Welcome Event/Interview.

Upon completion, you could continue on to our Level 2 in Professional Cookery, enter the catering and hospitality sector in a professional kitchen environment, or study a level 2 intermediate apprenticeship in Professional Cookery.
