Apprenticeship · Level 7 · Hospitality & Food

Chef De Partie

A four-year apprenticeship where you work in a professional kitchen and study for a degree in Culinary Arts. It suits people who love food and cooking and have an eye for detail.

How apprenticeships work: you are hired by an approved employer and paid while you learn, mixing work with blocks of training in a college or training centre. You don't apply through the CAO and you don't need CAO points.
