Hospitality Group Training School Based Chef Apprenticeship
Students attend the workplace one day a week, TAFE one day a week and the rest of the
working week (3 days) at school.
Chef Apprenticeship - Certificate III in Commercial Cookery
Cooks and chefs prepare and present food. They work in a variety of places including hotels,
restaurants, cafes, hospitals and catering businesses. An apprentice chef will probably be
required to do shift work or "split shifts", weekends and public holidays. Apprenticeships
generally last three years and employment prospects are excellent within Australia and
overseas.
