Federal Professional Examination with federal certificate
Chefs are considered experts in the application of cooking methods and the design and creation of culinary dishes and products. They manage the kitchen of a restaurant, hotel or other business or institution expertly and professionally. In doing so, they always draw on their sound specialist knowledge in the areas of marketing, business organization and costing.
They are considered managers in the catering kitchen and are therefore responsible for all employees and apprentices. In preparation for the theoretical part of the Federal Professional Examination, GastroZürich teaches the necessary basics in a preparatory course in accordance with the regulations and guidelines.
