NESTLÉ LAUNCHES FREE ONLINE CHEFS’ ACADEMY WITH WORLDCHEFS

Nestlé has helped launch a new online academy to assist aspiring chefs in taking the first step toward a culinary career. The WORLDCHEFS Academy, an online portal and mobile app, will cater to students that may not have the means, mobility or flexibility to attend full-time culinary school. The curriculum covers the entire basic theory for chefs: food service operations; culinary theory; food hygiene and sanitation; basic cooking; and culinary nutrition. Students can learn through the web-based platform or via the mobile app. At the end of the course, participants can complete an online assessment and receive their WORLDCHEFS ‘pre-commis’ chef certificate and badge – an important first step for anyone looking to apply to work in a professional kitchen. The program links to the WORLDCHEFS certification. Free of charge, the academy is open to anyone. worldchefsacademy.com
