NEW TRIPLE A ENDORSED BTEC APPRENTICESHIP

Our newly accredited BTEC Level 2 Intermediate and Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship in Craft Cuisine (QCF) have been exclusively designed and developed in association with the AAA National Committee. For the first time learners can now combine the AAA Assessment with a full Apprenticeship programme and have their practical skills independently endorsed by senior professional chefs. Learners will be supported in a nationally recognised, structured and accredited programme which will prepare them to successfully undertake their AAA appraisal and reach what is seen as the gold standard of professional cookery.

The Triple AThe AAA National Committee is the governing body for AAA exams and comprises representatives from the principal chefs’ organisations in the UK, who have come together in order to establish a ‘licence to practice’ trade test for professional chefs.

The Awards set the benchmarks that will define, develop, maintain and promote the skills needed in craft-led kitchens. They are intended to establish consistent, fit-for-purpose professional standards, requiring a breadth of skills and understanding in preparing, cooking and finishing a wide array of dishes.

Focused on work-based apprentices and their learning providers, the process provides a common syllabus with online support culminating in a one-day practical exam mounted independently of prior training and conducted by Chef Examiners approved by the Committee.
