Vocational Diploma in Culinary Operations

Overview

We offer a programme for students who aspire to be professional chefs. Catering operations in the hospitality industry have seen a phenomenal growth over the last few years and contribute significantly to economic growth.

However, there is a dearth of qualified chefs in commercial kitchens and limited offerings for aspiring chefs by way of courses of study to become professionals. We offer a vocational programme that integrates theoretical, practical and innovative aspects of Culinary Operations. This programme covers fundamental concepts of culinary art with an emphasis on hygiene, nutrition, food safety, and communication elements, all of which will contribute to the start and overall career of the individual.
