Classrom-Based Training (CBT)
What is Classroom-based Training?
-
Classroom-Based Training provides students with structured, instructor-led education combined with hands-on experience in a simulated environment—building confidence and job-ready skills before entering the workforce.
-
Our classroom delivery model combines engaging, face-to-face theory lessons with practical training in our fully equipped, operational training kitchen. All training and assessment are conducted by our expert culinary educators in a controlled, simulated environment. There is no requirement for students to be employed during the course.
-
This format ensures that students build the skills and confidence needed before entering a commercial kitchen. It’s ideal for those looking to gain nationally recognised hospitality or cookery qualifications without needing current industry employment.
