Course description
Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme
The Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme will give aspiring head chefs the knowledge and skills needed to manage, motivate and retain staff effectively.
With chefs traditionally having been promoted because of their culinary skills, many haven’t received the management and leadership development that would have been available to other roles.
As businesses now face intense competition to recruit and retain talent, there’s a heightened need for head chefs and aspiring head chefs to become better people managers and to possess the skills and confidence needed to engage, support, develop and motivate their teams.

Case Studies
Developing the Leadership & Management Skills of Chefs in Scotland
Improving management skills in hospitality and tourism to help reduce staff turnover is a priority for the industry. Many chefs have traditionally been promoted because of their culinary skills, without receiving the management and leadership development.
As businesses face intense competition to recruit and retain talent, there’s a heightened need for head chefs and aspiring head chefs to become better people managers and to possess the skills and confidence needed to engage, support, develop and motivate their teams.
Very beneficial, thoroughly enjoyed it
