Student Testimonial
My name is Rachel Smith and I work at Weaverââ,¬â"¢s Restaurant in Haworth. I have just spent the last year completing my NVQ level 3 in Professional Cookery. I have enjoyed the course immensely, further developing my practical skills and knowledge of all things to do with professional cookery. Most of all, I enjoyed the wide variety of practical work, especially working in the college Brasserie Restaurant. As well as all the food preparation, I took on certain supervisory responsibilities such supervisoring the service and ensuring that food safety standards were maintained. My work at Weaverââ,¬â"¢s really helped me to put many of the things that I had learnt at college in to practice in the workplace. My tutors have been very professioal and supportive and have given me that extra support when needed. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to futher establish a solid foundation of practical skills and knowledge so as to start a successful career in the catering industry.
