These experiences will range from farm walks, to butchery demonstrations and visits to abattoirs, cheese manufacturers, breweries and bakeries. The aim is to connect students with the food and drink they will be using throughout their careers and enable them to learn skills and knowledge from the very best.
Designed to nurture the future generation of talented UK restaurateurs, chefs and food service personnel, the selection process will see the 16 students commence the two year full time course from September 2011. These students will be given the opportunity to work their way up the flagship City & Guilds Level 3 Diplomas in Advanced Professional Cookery or Food and Beverage Service Supervision. They will also take part in further courses beyond the initial two years, potentially leading to a Level 4 City & Guilds qualification.
In year two, students can expect to enter industry competitions, visit leading trade shows and experience work in the country's leading hotels and restaurants including The Staff Canteen team are taking a different approach to keeping our website independent and delivering content free from commercial influence.
