Cookery Level 3 (Dual Enrolment)

Gain cooking skills for further study or employment.

Dual Enrolment programmes are FREE if you're in Years 11, 12 or 13 and a great way to earn NCEA credits and get a feel for tertiary study, while you’re still at school.

Location: Christchurch

On this course you’ll learn how to prepare, cook and present a range of basic dishes using fundamental cooking skills. Training is largely hands-on, practical and based in our commercial kitchen facilities. You’ll also learn how to deal with familiar problems in commercial kitchens and follow standard operating procedures, and you’ll gain skills in communication. Part-time, one year.

Please note: places are limited, and funding is dependent on availability. Some courses may incur costs, depending on the student’s eligibility. Fees may apply for international students.
