Certificate II in Cookery (Commercial Cookery Pre-Apprenticeship)
If you'd love a career as a chef, this course can set you up for a head start on an apprenticeship or get you job ready for employment in a commercial kitchen.
This nationally recognised and accredited qualification will give you the job-ready skills that employers are looking for, and could give you a head start to get into a commercial cookery apprenticeship to work in restaurants, hotels, catering operations, clubs, pubs, cafes, and coffee shops; or even in aged care facilities, hospitals, prisons, and schools — anywhere there's a commercial kitchen!
You'll get a great introduction to how the commercial kitchen operates, and learn how to prepare dishes to commercial standard. You'll also gain skills in using food prep equipment, hygiene for handling food, perishable stock control, communicating with kitchen staff, and kitchen safety.
Completion of this course as a pre-apprenticeship will provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study. It's an excellent pathway to an apprenticeship or traineeship in this industry.
