Senior Production Chef

Summary

Perfect for production chefs are working with a team of chefs producing high quality, high volume set recipes and menus which is repeated day after day and want to progress their career into a more managerial role.

Is this the right programme?  

Senior Production Chefs can work in a variety of kitchen environments, for example, schools, hospitals, the armed forces, care homes and high street casual dining or pub kitchens. They should be in a job role like head chef, second chef, kitchen manager/supervisor, and cook.

Duration

This is a Level 3, 12 month programme plus a Gateway (EPA) of 2 months.

How it works

Apprentices receive theory and practical training from an industry expert chef trainer.

Spend 1 day a month in our Umbrella Training Culinary School in London where they will experience expert-led masterclasses in everything from butchery to pasta making. 

Embed what they have learnt back into your workplace by experiencing the different sections and collating evidence of their work. 

Their demonstration and evidence collecting of their work should take place as part of Off The Jobs Hours

All our culinary apprentices are mentored by one of our top chefs to make sure they are fully prepared for their End-Point Assessment (EPA).

Does your team member already have culinary experience in a production kitchen?

A Senior Culinary Chef Level 4 apprenticeship would be ideal for chefs who are ready to create their own menus and build their culinary skills to the highest level.
