Professional Cookery (Preparation and Cooking) SVQ2
What is special about this course?
Learn while you work with Modern Apprenticeships (MAs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). Modern apprenticeships in Scotland are available for people who are aged over 16 and in employment. With on-the-job training and regular meetings in the workplace you can gain a recognised qualification without studying full-time. Funding for MAs can be gained from Skills Development Scotland.
If you want to earn and learn, becoming a chef apprentice is a great solution. Work based learning allows you to develop skills and knowledge and therefore gain a qualification whilst you are working in the kitchen.
Hospitality is one of the fastest growing industries and having the qualifications to be a trained chef will make you even more employable.
Entry requirements
Potential students must be working in a kitchen environment.
The course is made up of fourteen units and we will help you navigate your options to fit into your workplace.

You may study preparation/cooking and finishing of a selection of units including fish, meat, poultry, vegetables, sauces, soups, bakery, pastry and desserts. You will also study food hygiene, health and safety and team working.
