What the programme typically covers

Catering programmes at this level usually combine kitchen practice with classroom learning. You can expect to learn food preparation and cooking methods, menu planning, kitchen hygiene and food safety, and the basics of managing catering services. Many courses also include a practical placement or workshop time, so you graduate with hands-on experience.

What you can do after graduating

A Catering Certificate II is designed to lead straight into work. Most graduates start as cooks, kitchen assistants or catering staff in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools and event companies. It can also be the foundation for further study in hospitality or culinary arts if you want to move into management later.
