Courses to suit your skill level
When you select a cookery course, it is important that you select one that matches your current skill level. Our courses are graded across 3 skill levels to reflect the level of cookery experience you should have to enter the course.
Our foundation level is aimed at those with no prior experience of cooking whilst our intermediate level courses are suitable for the enthusiastic home cook, and our advanced level is for those that wish to take their cooking to a restaurant level.
Please note, these are entry level requirements not the final skill level you will achieve.
If you are unsure of your skill level or would like some assistance please contact us and we will be pleased to help.
