We believe your development is in your hands, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We have an array of training and development materials and courses, including fully funded Apprenticeships, for you to drive your professional and personal development. Our courses include:
Chef Academy
This is a true collaboration with the internal expertise of our Chef Directors helping to shape a programme of experiential learning, underpinned by the quality technical and academic development that only our partners at HIT training. Our Chef Academy team is fully supported by Chef Mentors from around the business too, so it does add up to something unique.
