Commis Chef (9081)

Our apprenticeship training manual is available as part of our SmartScreen resource (order code SS160693-L2) and supports the learner to develop the skills, understanding and behaviours and helps them to be competent at gateway and ready for end-point assessment. We also offer practice test papers.

The apprentices’ journey begins with a period of learning, development and continuous assessment which covers the full range of knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes required within the kitchen environment. This is managed by the employer. In most cases, there’s also support from a training provider.

Use product code 9081-12 to order our end-point assessment.

The assessment events include:

• 90-minute multiple choice e-volve test
• 3-hour practical observation in the workplace
• 2-hour culinary challenge
• professional discussion

At end-point assessment the apprentice must show they can perform in the occupation in a fully competent, holistic and productive way.  All elements of the assessment are graded fail/pass/distinction.

When the apprentice passes their assessment successfully, we’ll apply to the ESFA for the apprenticeship certification. The certificate will then be sent to the apprentice’s employer and the learner can then apply for World chefs Digital Credential (Commis Chef). We also provide our own City of Guilds-branded statement of achievement.
