Dive into the reasons you should participate in a Leiths accreditation day at Leiths School in London.
Upon successful completion of any of the four Leiths Online professional courses, you will be invited to participate in an accreditation day or weekend at Leiths School in London.
But what’s the value in taking this additional assessment? Let’s dive into some reasons why you’d be mad not to take part.
1. An Accreditation Goes Beyond Certification
A Leiths accreditation is a professional qualification that demonstrates your competence in the kitchen and shows your skills have been evaluated to meet industry standards. It’s more than just a certificate of completion – it’s proof that you have mastered advanced techniques and concepts.
2. There’s Theoretical Assessment and a Practical Assessment
The accreditation process includes both a practical cooking assessment and a written theory exam. This combined approach allows Leiths to evaluate your culinary knowledge, from techniques to ingredient handling, ensuring you’re ready to step into any kitchen with confidence.
3. You Can Meet Your Mentor and Teachers Face to Face
One of the highlights of the Leiths accreditation process is meeting some of the teachers and mentors who guided you through your online journey. They each have extensive culinary backgrounds and seeing their demonstrations in the flesh is an enriching experience.
4. Work in a Professional Kitchen
As part of the accreditation process, you will step into the state-of-the-art kitchens at Leiths School of Food and Wine in London. These facilities are where many successful chefs have trained, and now it’s your turn to put your skills to the test. You’ll cook in an environment that mirrors the pressure of a working kitchen, preparing you for future culinary challenges.
5. You’ll Join Fellow Cohort Students
Leiths Online students come from all over the world, but the accreditation assessment brings you together in person. It’s a unique chance to bond with other aspiring chefs from your course, share your culinary experiences, and support each other through the assessments. Many students build lasting connections that continue beyond the course.
6. It Could Open Many Doors for You
Obtaining a Leiths Cooking Accreditation can be a game-changer for your career. Whether you aspire to become a professional chef, food stylist, private chef, or recipe developer, this qualification is recognized across the UK food industry. Many graduates have used it as a launchpad to open their own businesses or to secure positions in industry, both in the UK and internationally.
7. It’s an Incredible Achievement
Earning a Leiths accreditation is no small feat. The combination of rigorous assessments, high professional standards, and expert mentorship makes it a significant accomplishment. Completing the accreditation process not only marks a high level of culinary proficiency but also boosts your confidence in the kitchen.
8. You Will Really Enjoy It
Though the assessments are designed to be challenging, past students often talk about how much they enjoy the process. From working in Leiths’ professional kitchens to receiving personalised feedback, the entire experience is both rewarding and fun.
