    Academy Restaurant

    The Academy of Culinary Arts at Highlands College offers full and part-time courses to students who wish to follow a career in the Hospitality industry.

    Our students range from school leavers to lifelong learners and come from a variety of international backgrounds.

    We offer a number of courses from City & Guilds International Certificate in Food Preparation and Cooking and Food & Beverage Service, Wine and Management courses including Wine and Spirit Education Trust (W.S.E.T.), Institute of Hospitality Management Qualifications and ancillary subjects such as Hygiene (C.I.E.H) and Barista Training. Our Budding Chefs courses are also available for the up and coming Chefs of the Future.

    We have an equal opportunities policy and our aim is to work with students to enable them to gain a worthwhile qualification to the highest standard.

    For more information, please telephone the team administrator, on 608563 or mail joan.mcknight@highlands.ac.uk

    How does the Academy work?

    • We develop people for the Hospitality Industry, not just skills and knowledge.
    • The Academy models itself on best practice in the Industry, where the students are professionally trained in our fully functional kitchen, restaurant and bar. The students who attend the full time provision, experience work related learning in our Academy restaurant where they both cook and serve diners on a weekly basis.
    • Both our full time and day release provision attend culinary skilled development sessions, which include classical training as well as current trends.
    • Training in the Restaurant covers a wide variety of service including silver service, banqueting, carvery, buffet and fine dining.
