As a chef, you’ll use your creativity, efficiency and passion for food to be an expert at preparing and serving food across a range of cuisines. Here you can find out more about what being a chef is like, where your career could take you, and what you should study or do to get a role.
Career development as a chef is based on practical training and learning in kitchens. Many chefs move between kitchens and cuisines to build a portfolio of skills in their career.
You’ll typically start your career as a junior chef or kitchen assistant before working your way up and taking on more demanding work. Your creativity and drive to create exciting culinary products will help you land more senior positions where you can flex your creative muscles. As an experienced chef you might take on a head chef role or start your own business.
Training is a constant process for chefs as you’ll always be learning new techniques and developing new recipes and methods. Depending on the size of your employer, you might have access to structured training courses or more informal, personal training from a mentor.
The Hospitality Guild can help you find a range of relevant training opportunities ranging from cooking techniques to culinary management or food regulation.
