Professional Chef, Apprenticeships, Nutrition and Health Qualifications for Private and Public Sector Caterers.

Are you working in, or considering working within, the Hospitality & Catering or Care Sectors?

The Cotswold Chef™ Food Centre is part of the FEAST Network established to enhance formal qualifications for public and private sector caterers. We welcome Chefs, Cooks and support staff from schools, care homes, prisons and hospitals. We can offer bespoke practical or theory based sessions, QCF units, through to complete qualifications.

We are also pleased to be able to enhance the education of all people of all ages and can enrich pre apprentice, apprentice and NVQ q ualifications to ensure that your learner really is a cut above the rest. The “value added” activities which we offer help to support their basic programmes and really can make a difference in attitude, skills, confidence and knowledge – which will then benefit both staff and customers back in the workplace.

Some of our qualifications include:

  • Food Safety CIEH L1 - provides an ideal solution to staff induction training including: new employees with minimal or no prior food safety knowledge; employees handling low-risk or wrapped foods; front of house employees, such as waiting or check out staff; back of house employees, such as kitchen porters or warehouse staff. The Level 1 awards are also suitable for employees for whom English is a second language or those with special needs.

  • Food Safety CEH L2 - suitable for anyone working in a catering, manufacturing or retail setting where food is prepared, cooked and handled. Typical environments may include: pubs, hotels, restaurants; supermarkets and retail environments; food and drink manufacturers; hospitals; care homes; schools; prisons. Everyone who works with food has a special responsibility for safeguarding the health of consumers and to ensure that the food they serve or sell is perfectly safe to eat.

  • Healthier Foods and Special Diets CIEH L2 - This qualification has been designed to provide a good, basic understanding of nutrition for all employees in catering environments involved in the selection of menus, recipes and ingredients. It is also relevant for those in the health care and education sectors. More than ever caterers need to understand the link between diet and health.
