Certificate III in Commercial Cookery

Gain the culinary skills and expertise you need with our commercial cookery course, which is offered as either an apprenticeship or non-apprenticeship course. If you’re a mature-age student who’d like to become a qualified commercial cook, the non-apprenticeship course is ideal for you.

In our cookery course you’ll learn everything from making bread and filleting fish, to creating menus and cooking specialist dishes from recipes provided by top chefs. Gain a Level II First Aid certificate, and be ready and able to work as a food safety supervisor.

Plus during our cooking course you can also grab the opportunity to enter a range of prestigious industry awards and competitions, such as the ‘Fonterra Food Services Proud to be a Chef’ competition.
