1000 Hills Chef School Durban is the only chef school in South Africa to offer three diplomas in one year in an all-inclusive culinary course.
Students gain hands-on know-how by spending many hours in a kitchen each day. 1000 Hills has a stellar reputation for having in-demand students, with a near perfect record of student acceptances to work for the Ritz Carlton Hotel Group.
If you’ve considered this profession, but need a little nudge in the right direction, here are five excellent reasons why you should consider becoming a chef:
- Plenty of career options: Work in resorts, country clubs, even private homes. You’ll also have opportunity to travel by working onboard private yachts, commercial cruise liners or convention centres, lodges and casinos worldwide.
- Creative freedom – food is art! Even if you are no good with a pencil or paintbrush, you have the licence to mould your dishes into whatever you want them to be. And wow the guests who come to taste them.
- A good income: make no mistake, chefs work very hard for their money, but the pay off is worth it. Especially if you work on a private yacht or commercial cruise liner. Tax free!
- New experiences every day: you never know what’s going to happen in the kitchen! Or when inspiration is going to strike for an amazing new creation. Prepare yourself for flares, fires and smiles from happy customers. Sometimes all on one day.
- Be your own boss: you don’t have to always work in somebody else’s restaurant. A lot of chefs open their own establishment after years of gaining knowledge and experience from their work. A chance to make something that is truly your own and that you can be proud of.
Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
1000 Hills Chef School is open for enrolments. If you are between 17 and 28, have a Grade 10 certificate, be able to clearly communicate in English and have a passion for food, you should consider taking a leap into making your dreams come true. Apply soon to land your personal interview – these are arranged from Wednesday to Sunday.
