    Anyone know of any, reasonably priced, cooking courses? I tried looking for some of the cert ones but couldn't find any. There are a few schools around alright, but 3K for a few months seems a bit pricey.

    Would consider anything that's a few months to a year long. Something that you could use outside the home. Thanks :)

    DIT in Cathal Brugha street have some great courses, and they are VERY reasonable too. http://www.dit.ie/study/parttime/faculty/

    Check the guide to night courses that's available.I've done two cooking courses in Marino college,only €150 for each ten week course.I think they're available from sep. and jan.I think I'll even try another one next term.

    Whats up with the cert ones? what do you want it for? home use or going professional?

    The 16week cert cullinary skills programme is good, you even get an allowance. then you can move on to either full time or day release, in either CIT,DIT,Gmit etc etc.

    Oh nice, thanks for the information people.

    I am pretty ok at cooking at home, never use a cookbook, when I do something differant I have the general idea but I ask my mother for more details (She is a chef for about 30 years now).

    I want the cert for both home cooking and professional. At some stage in the future I would like to open a small resturaunt or chipper (not a traditional one, but I will keep that idea to myself for now, sorry) I would like to have something to back up my business degree... nothing worse than a manager of a resturaunt that knows nothing about food.

    I would love to be able to cook something completely differant, I am big into savoury dishes. Most of what I cook tends to be standard really. Stir fry or cajun chicken wrap being the most wild dish I create.

    Thanks for any further information :)

    No no, I have a completely differant idea that has not been tried in ireland yet. That is why I am keeping it to myself :)

    I have looked into suppliers and the likes. It would be great for anyone with capital, which I don't have. :(
