Commis chef level 2

Umbrella Training & Employment
This apprenticeship programme is ideal for someone who prepares food, carries out basic cooking tasks in every section of a kitchen under the supervision of a senior chef and wishes to develop their culinary career.
Is this the right programme?
A commis chef apprenticeship is ideal for school leavers, career changers, or anyone looking to get the best start to a chef career. It's the most common starting position in professional kitchens and, in principle, the most junior culinary role.
This is a level 2, 12-month programme plus a gateway (EPA) of up to two months.
All our culinary apprentices are mentored by one of our top chefs to make sure they are fully prepared for their end-point assessment (EPA).
How it works
- Apprentices receive theory and practical training from an industry expert chef trainer
- Spend one day a month in our Umbrella training culinary school in London where they'll experience expert-led masterclasses in everything from butchery to pasta making
- Embed what they have learnt back into your workplace by experiencing the different sections and collating evidence of work
- Their demonstration and evidence collecting of their work should take place as part of off-the-job hours
