This pre-apprenticeship will give you the job-ready skills that employers are looking for, and could give you a head start to get into a commercial cookery apprenticeship to work in restaurants, hotels, catering operations, clubs, pubs, cafes, and coffee shops; or even in aged care facilities, hospitals, prisons, and schools — anywhere there's a commercial kitchen!
You'll get a great introduction to how the commercial kitchen operates, and learn how to prepare dishes to commercial standard.
You'll gain skills in using food prep equipment, hygiene for handling food, perishable stock control, communicating with kitchen staff, and kitchen safety.
