to the Chefs' Academy Nomination Page
Chefs’ Academy is our multi-award winning chef development programme, and the largest of its type in the UK! Joining Chefs’ Academy gives you the opportunity to work towards a nationally recognised qualification, through a combination of work within your business and attending our monthly masterclasses.
At the masterclasses, our multi-award winning chef team will help you create exciting dishes, working with fresh foods beyond the requirements of your brand to broaden your skill base and laying the foundations to help you become a more knowledgeable chef.
You will cover modules such as pastry, game and shellfish as well as many others, creating several fresh dishes over your time on programme. Our masterclasses are in locations across the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, London, amongst others.
Back in business, you will be visited every 6-8 weeks by a Lifetime Learning Coach who will help you work towards your qualification, including Maths and English Functional Skills (if you have not already achieved these at GCSE level 4 / Grade C).
