Queenstown campus has recently opened a brand new Cookery Suite, with the space being officially blessed and opened for use on 10 March 2017. The New Zealand Certificate in Cookery (Level 3) is now underway and the students are able to enjoy using the new facilities. This course is new to Queenstown campus and leads into the New Zealand Certificate in Cookery (Level 4), which is also now offered in Queenstown.
A 17 week programme, the Level 3 course offers professional training for those who aspire to become chefs within the hospitality industry. Students’ knowledge and culinary skills will be developed, as well as the necessary flair and creativity needed within the culinary arts.
In addition to this Certificate qualification, each trainee will have the opportunity to gain the internationally recognised City and Guilds International qualifications (additional fee charged.)
On completion of the programme, graduating students will be competent, professional employees for the hospitality sector, who are able to work as chefs in junior positions producing basic dishes in a commercial kitchen.
