    Hi,
    Im new to this site and i've probably posted this in the wrong section so my apoligies if i have.
    Anyways my query is the following:
    I am a 20 yr old student in my 3rd year of a 4 year degree of Civil Engineering but im also working part time as a chef in a restaurant.
    With the currrent state of the economy i am considering doing another course in relation to cooking after i finish my degree.
    I have been working in the (smallish) restauraunt (only 6 chefs) and am able to do the majority of the tasks that the other chefs carry out including service, prep, making soups sauces etc.. So i feel i have a relatively good grasp of the practical side.
    And i was just wondering would anyone recommend a course maybe 1-2 years relevant to my situation?
    Ilb be very grateful with any feedback
    thanks!:)

    Moved to Cooking & Recipes. I think there's a few professionals in here who might be able to point you in the right direction.

    You can do day release culinary arts higher cert or degree courses in any of AIT, DIT, GMIT, CIT and a few others around the country. Run in those colleges and acredited by failte ireland, would be perfect for you as you could continue to work (to pay bills) and get your education at the same time.

    You will learn the stuff they don't have time to teach in a restraunt environment.

    Worth looking into.
