Cookery Course Skill Levels

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 experience you require to enter the course.

Please note, these are entry level requirements not the final skill level you will achieve, so whilst the entry level for the Professional Culinary Diploma is an Intermediate Level, you will obviously graduate with a much higher level of culinary skill.

If you are unsure of your skill level or would like some assistance you can contact us here.
