This a prac­ti­cal pro­gramme and the major­i­ty of learn­ing will take place in our train­ing kitchens learn­ing new skills and enhanc­ing exist­ing skills. Though a process of prac­ti­cal demon­stra­tions, group work­shops and one to one train­ing, you will be taught the skills need­ed to be assessed as com­pe­tent in a wide range of prepa­ra­tion and cook­ing tech­niques. And food service/​cus­tomer care.

All prac­ti­cal learn­ing is re-enforced by study­ing the the­o­ry of cater­ing in the class­room. The cus­tomer ser­vice skills are prac­tised and improved on dur­ing restau­rant service.

We will review each appli­ca­tion on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get a place on the course most suit­able for you.

One of the ways we do this is through a very effec­tive ​‘6 weeks to suc­cess pro­gramme’ that oper­ates from the first day you start your course. This includes sup­port such as (but not lim­it­ed to):

• Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks — sub­ject to course availability

• Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard sub­ject to course availability

• Incor­po­rat­ing Eng­lish and maths GCSE resits in to your timetable if you don’t pass at Grade 4

• One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team can be con­tact­ed at enquiries@?stamford.?ac.?uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

You will be assessed through prac­ti­cal and on-going obser­va­tions and assess­ments includ­ing the com­ple­tion of mul­ti­ple choice papers. There are no for­mal prac­ti­cal or the­o­ret­i­cal exam­i­na­tions for this programme.

You will require a uni­form, equip­ment, ref­er­ence books, and the abil­i­ty to par­tic­i­pate in edu­ca­tion­al vis­its to sup­port your learn­ing, more infor­ma­tion will be pro­vid­ed pri­or to your enrol­ment in August.
