English Lakes Hotels Culinary Academy welcomes new cohort
In the past 3 years, the Culinary Academy has attained 100% achievement with all apprentices on Level 2 and Level 3 programmes
The English Lakes Hotels Resorts and Venues Culinary Academy has welcomed its latest cohort of trainees.
Recruitment for this year’s academy intake has involved a wider catchment area due in part to its growing reputation.
Students this year have come from places such as Vancouver, Romania and Milton Keynes.
Delivered in partnership with Kendal College, the English Lakes Hotels Resorts and Venues Culinary Academy is now into its sixth year.
It offers trainees a one year apprenticeship, with students training to attain Level 2 Commis Chef and Level 3 Chef de Partie qualifications.
In the past 3 years, the Culinary Academy has attained 100% achievement with all apprentices on Level 2 and Level 3 programmes.
Daniel Winstanley from English Lakes Hotels Resorts and Venues said: “It’s been heartening to see applicants from across the country, and in this case from overseas as well, keen to come and train with us and develop their careers in Cumbria.
“We’re also still working with local schools to maintain baseline catering skills provision and pathways into the hospitality industry wherever we can, and that includes offering demo sessions for schools who get in touch.”
