The programme is an adaption of Failte Ireland’s flagship Advanced Certificate in Professional Cookery (Fetac Level 6). It is designed to be delivered as an intensive nine month immersion programme, integrating theory and practice. It has been developed to provide a relevant professional qualification for those who wish to embark on a career in professional cookery. This premier programme offers high quality hands-on education where both theory and practical elements are delivered in state-of-the art professional culinary facilities. As part of the programme, participants work in industry in a professional production kitchen and learn the practical skills of professional cookery. Work experience is directly aligned to the learning in college to ensure that the skills and knowledge are reinforced and embedded for the enhancement of the overall learning experience.

This programme will qualify you to find professional employment as a 3rd year commis chef in hotels, restaurants, licensed trade, cruise ships, industrial and hospital catering and in other food-related businesses.
