Catering: Culinary Skills and Hospitality Service Introduction Level 1 Full-time (FCAH)

This course is ideal for you if you are interested in the hospitality and catering industry and want to develop your core cookery skills.

In the kitchens, you will learn how to prepare and cook meat, fish and poultry dishes. Alongside this, you will have developed your making of soups, stocks, sauces and the preparation of vegetables.

Once you have mastered your core cookery skills, you will then develop them further by looking at different cookery methods including boiling; poaching and steaming; stewing and braising; baking; roasting; and grilling.

Lessons take place in our kitchens that are designed to replicate industry kitchens. While this course is very practical, theory elements will underpin the skills you learn in practical lessons for example teaching you about food safety, hygiene and healthy eating.

• You will need to hold two GCSEs at grade 2 or above including English and a positive school report.

Upon completion, you could progress onto further study such as our Level 2 Culinary Skills or Level 2 Certificate in Food Preparation and Cookery courses.
