Commis Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship - The Sunny Hill Pub, Whitehaven

12 months

Commis chef is the most common starting position in many kitchens.

A commis chef prepares food and carries out basic cooking tasks under the supervision of a more senior chef.

The primary objective of the commis chef is to learn and understand how to carry out the basic functions in every section of the kitchen.

Therefore having the opportunity to experience, consider and value each section with a view to choosing an area where they feel most inspired.

This apprenticeship is fully work-based.

At least 20 per cent of an apprentice’s normal working hours must be off-the-job training, defined as activities directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard which teach new knowledge, skills and behaviours and, if English or maths, are above Level 2.

For a full-time apprentice, this is capped at six hours a week over the planned duration of the apprenticeship.
