  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I control and direct the food preparation process and polish the dishes before they leave the kitchen to a customer. I plan orders of equipment and food as and when are needed according to identified shortages. I am fully in charge of hiring, managing, and training my kitchen team, and over see the work of my subordinates. I comply with nutrition and sanitation regulations and safety standards.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt new skills such as: learning the difference in leadership and management, learning about the training circle, and learning how to be a good coach, to help other team meme bees progress in their job. I have developed existing skills by going over the 14 main food allergies and talking to my learning coach about them.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my programme because I enjoy talking to my learning coach. She helps me to progress in my learning and will listen thoroughly about what I have to say. She teaches me new things and makes me look at scenarios in a different way, that I may not have seen before.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I think the programme is well organised and structured. Each project we do carries on from the next and I believe that it fits into my work really well. I think that using MyLife can be a little hard to get your ahead around, and I’ve found that others using it have found the same issues.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
