About Course

This Level 2 course builds the kitchen skills you need to work in a professional cookery environment. Johan Botha teaches knife work, stocks, sauces, baking basics and hygiene in our training kitchen in Umhlanga. You practise each method until it is steady, then cook full dishes for a service. Classes run weekly, with a practical assessment at the end.
