“Entering a kitchen full of international chefs can be quite daunting when you don’t speak a word of their language. In order to understand what they were asking me to do, I had to adapt to their way of doing things and think on my feet. The confidence you pick up is game-changing, you feel on top of the world after a day’s work.”

Student testimonials
-
“I was working at a tapas restaurant, where I was usually working alongside one or two chefs. I made sure I was eager to learn, and always polite and punctual at every shift. I was shown how to do more advanced tasks quite quickly and I think that was down to my enthusiasm to learn and understand.”
-
‘If I could say one thing to any students considering going, I would say go, and don’t look back! It’s a great opportunity, one I almost turned down, but would have lived to regret it if I stayed home.’
