Our aim is to give each student a good foundation in basic practical skills.
Throughout the modules, they will improve knowledge of:
- Selecting and using the correct equipment and tools safely.
- Making healthy food choices and designing for people with special dietary needs.
- Function of ingredients and ways of combining materials.
- Awareness of safety and hygiene in the kitchen.
