Diploma In Catering

Love cooking?

Become a Caterer (We'll show you how.)

Wouldn't you like to make cash from your kitchen? Well that's what you can do by becoming a home-based caterer.

By registering on this Diploma catering course, you'll learn how to set up your own catering or food business.

The course is a complete learning package, crammed full of information, tips and exercises.

Everything is beautifully packaged to provide you with your own permanent reference library which you can consult long after completing the course.

Constructed by experts, this catering course distills years of experience, covering every kind of catering issue. By taking this course, your success as a caterer is assured.

Personal to you

To help you fully understand the course material, we set you four assignments. They're marked by one of our experienced tutors, who will stay with you throughout the course.

It means your work is checked in a friendly atmosphere before you are exposed to the outside world.

You'll have unlimited email access to your tutor, who'll give you free advice and suggestions on anything to do with catering. And you can always telephone an Advisor at the Institute. We love hearing from students.

Unlike other organisations' courses, you can take as long as you want to complete the Diploma course.

And remember that the course is based on the real world. By the end of it, you'll have met all the main problems that a caterer encounters.

Who would benefit from the course?

Anyone who enjoys cooking, and who'd like to see if they can set up as a caterer or sell the food they make, will enjoy this course.

And wherever you live in the world, this catering course is relevant to you. In addition, there's extra information for people in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.

Does the course teach cooking skills and recipes?

No. You shouldn't enrol on the catering course unless you're competent in the kitchen. And you probably have enough recipe books without us adding more suggestions! However, we cover specialist subjects like modifying your recipes, and cooking for large numbers.

How long does the course take?

You can complete the course in four to six months, depending on your other commitments. Some students do it faster, while others take longer. That's one advantage of distance learning. You learn at your own speed, not at your teacher's.

And there's no time limit on the course. So if you need to be away for six months, you can do so.

Once you complete the course, you'll receive your Diploma. It's a recognition of your skills and knowledge.

We also send information about your success to your local newspapers. It's a good way of telling potential clients that you're available.

And if you register with the Institute, you can get continuing help after the course.
