Introduction;

Partnering with HTA School of Culinary Art, Hilton Worldwide MEA introduced a Chefs’ Apprenticeship Training Programme in 2013, designed to create the next generation of professional culinary experts across its growing MEA hotel portfolio.

About the E-learning professional Chef apprentice course:

The three-year Apprenticeship-based Diploma in Professional Cookery and Culinary Art presented by HTA is supported and certified by City & Guilds, one of the most recognised global accreditors and awarding bodies for Vocational Qualifications.

HTA School of Culinary Art is responsible for the theoretical assessment of the programme content, as well as guiding the In-house Chef Facilitator in the gathering of evidence of competence. City & Guilds will officiate the final exams and award Qualifications at the end of the three year programme.
