1 year advanced cookery program nice:
The first training project of nice will be the one year training
course for chefs or people that already have 2-3 years experience
in the field of professional cooking/catering and want to enhance
and upgrade their knowledge to a professional level in the area
of a senior Chef. The course will be offered for the first time
in January 2006 and ends in Dec 2006 and therefore every year
starting in January. It must be made clear that we are not offering
any basic cooking courses, so we only look at students that
already have a lot of experience when it comes to cooking.
The following under points will give you a clear picture what
we are going to offer and how the training will be conducted.
It is seen that students will first freshen up in the technology
studies to have a very good theoretical background of what they
are doing in the kitchen. Once a subject has been taken care
of it will be also shown in practical consents in the restaurant
kitchen. That will be a very good and appropriate way of teaching.
The theoretical progress will go on with the practical sessions
during the normal work at the restaurant. A total of 12 students
per annum will be educated and will work both in the kitchen
and as waiters in the restaurant. That will make them not only
good chefs but also will give them the basic skills of waitering
and restaurant administration. This will make them understand
contexts much better and also help them to get the whole picture
of a hospitality business.
All practical will be done whilst running the restaurant under
real running conditions and will be combined with the theoretical
progress during classes. The restaurant kitchen is seen as the
main practical institution as it’s successfully done in
the cooking apprenticeships system in Germany. Austria and Switzerland.
NICE is also involved within the development of a national curricula
for the hospitality professions and will obviously apply with
NTA/NQA accreditations as a national training facility. As soon
as a national curricula’s, training modules and training
manuals are available nice will fully commit to these sources.
But it is already visible that the current program of NICE doesn’t
differ that much from the national curricula being developed
so far. Once the national program is in place nice will train
people according to this national program and then hopefully
issue a national certificate to those students who have successfully
passed it.
