Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Professional Cookery

This study programme is designed to help you move quickly toward advanced jobs, higher education, or apprenticeship opportunities if you know what you want to do next and meet the entry requirements needed for success.

Achieving a Level 3 qualification will improve your future earning potential and career choices. It also allows you to progress to Higher Education, Higher Apprenticeships, and Degree Apprenticeships. These can lead to roles like advanced technician or skilled supervisor at Level 3, and eventually to management or professional status as you continue your studies.

To study at Level 3, including all T Level and A Level programmes, you will need an average entry score of 5.0 from your best 6 GCSE subjects, ideally including English and Maths.

Assessment takes place through practical sessions, to demonstrate your professional abilities. Online tests and written work are also moderated against unit criteria.

Once you finish your course, you will be ready to start in your career in the
catering industry. You can also go onto further study in this area, such as a
Level 4 qualification or a degree apprenticeship.

Students can access work experience opportunities, supported by our Industry
Liaison Officer. Learn in the professional industry with support from your work
placement employers.

Throughout your studies, you will also take part in a variety of internal and
external events, catering for staff, students and our local community.

We also benefit our community by taking part in social action projects which
help with development and skill progression, as well as making a difference
locally.
