Course Description

INTRODUCTORY CHEF COURSE

This course gives students with no prior culinary experience an opportunity to prepare themselves to a level required to enter the 10-Day IAMI Guest Superyacht Chef Course.

This short course is an intense induction programme that teaches students everything they need to know about preparing themselves to work in a cooking environment. We focus on training students to manage themselves in the kitchen including knife skills, classic recipes, and cooking techniques.

The course is highly practical and students are put through an intense and rigorous programme to prepare them for the IAMI Guest Superyacht Chef Course.

SUPERYACHT CHEF COURSE

For anyone interested in working in the galley on superyachts then this is a great course to learn the required knowledge and techniques you will need onboard.

The IAMI GUEST Superyacht Chef Course focuses on preparing students to increase their culinary skills in the galley. Our course covers everything you need to know about yachting, operation in the galley, food management and culinary skills.

The IAMI GUEST Superyacht Chef Course also challenges students to think differently about how they work with food and what it represents. Students learn to forget everything they know about basic food preparation -we teach students a completely new way of planning, preparing and presenting food and challenge the boundaries of standard food presentation, pushing them to raise the bar and achieve new personal goals in culinary art.

This course is intensive and covers everything from basic hygiene and cooking efficiency to 5-star food preparation under the guidance of a professional chef.
