Warwick’s Chef School is proud to have many graduates working in some of the finest establishments in the country, as well as many who have succeeded in this industry abroad.
Students build their careers in all aspects of the hospitality industry, including: restaurants / hotels / guest houses / game lodges / catering companies / cruise liners / yachts / industrial catering etc.
As each field is suited to specific students, Warwick’s helps to guide graduates in the right direction to build a career path by gaining the right experience along their journey through the culinary industry.
We value a high level of professional pride and belief in teaching our students to work with accuracy while under pressure on a daily basis. This helps prepare the students for the internship period that they complete in the industry during the latter half of the diploma course. We encourage our students to be creative during their practical sessions and experiment with different techniques and trends. Personalised attention is very important to us. That is why we only accept a limited number of students on each course intake. At Warwick’s, our students become part of our culinary family. We support our students by providing career advice and keeping them informed of available positions in the industry for which they can apply.
Our aim is to guide our students to have a solid knowledge of the ‘cheffing’ field and to equip them with a wide range of perfected skills to ensure their success in the hospitality industry.
As part of the full time Diploma Level course, students spend time at one of the school’s approved professional hotel/restaurant partners to gain valuable realistic industry exposure, under the guidance of a mentor.
The school is affiliated with many top restaurants and hotels in the surrounding areas.
Students have the opportunity to be mentored by successful chefs who share the school’s passion for training. This work experience secures employment opportunities and references for our graduates.
When graduating from Warwick’s, you will be industry ready and fully employable.
With such a need for qualified chefs, our students have no trouble finding employment after their course, both locally and abroad.
We are proud of all our students who work successfully in all the different sections of the hospitality industry and many of them have their own successful restaurants and catering businesses.
