Commercial Cookery
From kitchen apprentice to Executive Chef. Nationally recognised qualifications delivered by chefs who've been there, done it, and know what it takes to succeed in a commercial kitchen.
The qualifications behind every working chef
Commercial cookery is the foundation of professional kitchens across Australia. Whether you're a kitchen hand wanting to step up, an apprentice working toward your trade, or a working cook eyeing the path to head chef, these qualifications get you there.
At ABHT we deliver these courses the way they should be delivered: by trainers who've actually run kitchens, in a structure that fits around your work. Most students complete while employed in industry, with us coming to your workplace to assess.
Pick the qualification that matches where you are now and where you want to go. Or just give us a ring and we'll help you figure it out.
