Cookery Diploma

Ashburton Cookery School’s Cookery Diploma is an intensive four-week cookery course that takes students through a broad syllabus of fundamental techniques covering all areas of cooking.

A high level of practical tuition is backed up by essential theory and weekly visits to local producers. At the end of the course, students will put their newfound skills to the test when they spend two days in the kitchens of one of the region’s top chefs.

The Cookery Diploma course is designed for those with ambitions of entering the catering industry or for serious cooks who want to raise their cooking to a higher standard. We cover all the skills that are required in a professional catering environment. Over a four-week period, we train you to the standard of cooking expected at NVQ Level 3.

During the course you’ll encounter the cut and thrust of a professional kitchen – you’ll spend two days in the final week working in the restaurant kitchens of one of the region’s top chefs. Site visits to local producers and large-scale commercial kitchens aim to broaden our student’s horizons to the range of possibilities available in the catering industry.

All courses at Ashburton Cookery School have a maximum of ten people, which means we can keep the teaching as hands-on as possible. It also makes for a sociable working environment.

We work towards a full dinner every day with frequent tasting sessions along the way and time put aside for theory in all subject areas including health & safety, hygiene requirements, food storage, methods of cookery and modern trends.

Daily lesson sheets in subject areas such as stocks, sauces, meats, poultry, game, seafood, vegetables, baking, pastries, and desserts build into a comprehensive cookery course folder, which will be an invaluable kitchen companion for the future.
