Commercial Cookery

Approved by the World Association of Chefs’ Societies (WACS), North Metropolitan TAFE’s commercial cookery qualification provides you with the skills and knowledge to become a qualified chef.

The program is updated with guidance from a group of industry leaders, ensuring you learn the latest, most relevant practices.

You will develop the practical skills and knowledge to plan, organise, prepare and cook food in a commercial kitchen environment. Upon completion of our course, you will be able to work in various kitchen settings, such as restaurants, hotels, pubs, cafes and cruise ships.

You could start on your pathway to a career in the kitchen with the new four week Future Chef Job Ready Program delivered at our Joondalup campus.

This skill set will combine training with a work placement in our real life training environment, the kitchen at Pavilion Restaurant. You could also have the chance to connect with apprenticeship opportunities and get started on your way to becoming a chef.
