Love cooking?
Become a caterer. (We'll show you how.)
Register on the Diploma
course in catering, and you'll learn how to make cash
from your kitchen - by setting up your own catering
or food business.
The course is a
complete learning package, and even includes a starter
kit for your first meeting. ‘Cash from your Kitchen’ is
crammed full of information, tips and exercises.
Everything is beautifully
packaged to provide you with your own permanent reference
library which you can consult long after completing the
course.
Constructed by catering
experts, the course distills years of experience, covering
every kind of catering issue. By taking this course, your
success as a caterer is assured.
Personal
to you
To help you
fully understand the course material, we set you
ten assignments. These are marked by one of our experienced
tutors, who will stay with you throughout the course.
It means your
work is checked in a friendly atmosphere before you
are exposed to the outside world.
You’ll
have unlimited access to your tutor, who'll give
you free advice and suggestions on anything to do
with catering. And you can always telephone an advisor
at the Institute. We love hearing from students.
Unlike other
organisations' courses, you can take as long as you
want to complete the Diploma course.
And remember
that the course is based on the real world. By the
end of it, you'll have met all the main problems
that a caterer encounters.

Who
would benefit from the course?
Anyone who enjoys cooking, and who would
like to see if they can set up as a caterer or sell the
food they make.
Wherever you live in the world, the
course is relevant to you. In addition, there is extra
information for people in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
We hope to add more countries in time.
Does the course cover
cooking skills and recipes?
No. You shouldn't enrol on the course
unless you're competent in the kitchen. And you probably
have enough recipe books without us adding more suggestions!
How long
does the course take?
You can complete
the course in around nine months, depending on your other
commitments. Some students do it faster, while others take
longer. That's one advantage of distance learning. You
learn at your own speed, not at your teacher's.
And there's no time
limit on the course. So if you need to be away for six
months, you can do so.
When
you complete the course
Once you complete
the course, you’ll receive your Diploma. It's
a recognition of your skills and knowledge.
We also send
information about your success to your local newspapers.
It’s a good way of telling potential clients
that you’re available.
And if you
register with the Institute, you can get continuing
help after the course.
What
you'll learn from the course
By the end
of the course, you'll have acquired the following
skills:

NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by the qualification

Ireland. The regulators are the Office of the Qualifications

By studying for our Diploma in Catering, you’ll give

from a distance learning course.
Accreditation
Here’s another reason to sign up with us. We’re
fully accredited by the Open and Distance Learning Quality
Council (ODLQC) and recognized as a distance education
provider!
The ODLQC was set up by the government to assess standards
in distance education and evaluate institutions based
on the instructors, financial planning and management
systems. The ODLQC is responsible for ensuring that
an accredited institution maintains the high level of
quality education it provides and they are extremely
stringent about the rules. |

Our guarantee
It's hard to know whether the course will suit you. And you
probably have lots of unanswered  questions. If you call us
on 0800 781 1715 in the UK, 888-659-3897 (USA), or + 61 2
9620 4066 (Australia), we'll try to answer your queries.
But we also offer a guarantee: if you don't like the course
(for any reason), just email us to cancel at any time within
30 days of receiving your pack, and we'll refund your course
fees.
Why do we give this refund? Because we don't like to part
on bad terms (life's too short). And we'd prefer you to say
nice things about us.
But, you ask, does anyone actually claim a refund? Absolutely!
Around five per cent of our students ask for their money back
each month. And we're happy to pay them, because we know that
the best course in the world won't suit every single person.
