Stage 1- E-learning

Good news! You don’t need a work and stay visa (MVV) to join the Professional European Chef course. Only for the last part of the education you probably need an tourist visa. (This visa is much easier and cheaper to get). 

Because getting a visa is often impossible and very expensive, we specially developed this professional chef education.

The Professional European Chef course is a hybrid course. You can do the main part of the Professional European Chef education in your own country. This means you can study to become a Professional European Chef, without the expensive matter of the impossible visa process and moving to another country.

The Professional European Chef course is divided into 6 stages (modules). 

Stages 1 to 4 are thaught online
Stage 5 is a traineeship which you can do in your own country.
Stage 6 is a 2-weeks practical program at our school in The Netherlands. (for stage 6 you possible need a tourist visa!)  

The investment when you apply directly for the full program is €2.149,-  (+ €75,00 diploma fee) But you can also choose to pay per module.

We will explain how this works via email after you buy stage 2.

For stage 5 you must have a traineeship in the kitchen at a restaurant. At the restaurant should be a chef that is able to teach and guide you through your practical learning skills. The tasks for you as a trainee must be all cooking related. Off course cleaning and doing dishes is involved in the cooking process, but make sure you will not be hired to do just that (washing dishes).
