Adam Jones

Catering - Work Based Apprenticeship (Professional Cookery) (Level 3)

There were a lot of opportunities and new experiences which I wouldn’t have had if I had gone back to school to do A-Levels. It was very practical and hands-on, and we got to take part in cookery competitions which helped to develop my skills.
