While classroom learning is key for building important skills in the hospitality industry, hands-on training is equally crucial. This practical experience helps you learn from your mistakes and gives you a real sense of working in a busy kitchen.
School teaches you both the theory and practice of cooking, but real-world experience is what truly enhances this knowledge. To succeed in hospitality, you need to show that you can work under pressure, adapt quickly, and collaborate with others.
Experience is vital for anyone aiming to be a head chef, sous chef, or entrepreneur. At AXIS Institute, we provide the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to reach these goals.
Cooking is a rewarding and in-demand profession worldwide. Your success will depend on how well you apply your skills and pursue your career ambitions.
What we offer in our Hospitality courses
Training schedule
At AXIS Institute, we focus heavily on hands-on kitchen experience. This approach helps you master cooking theories and gain practical skills in a real kitchen environment.
Types of training
You’ll spend significant time preparing food, desserts, and beverages. Additionally, you’ll learn crucial management skills like coordinating teams, budgeting, and creating menus. These skills are essential for managing a kitchen or starting your own catering business or restaurant.
All practical training takes place in our commercial kitchens on campus. You’ll be evaluated on your performance, skill development, and ability to handle typical challenges in a commercial kitchen. As you complete various tasks and assessments, you’ll progress through the program.
Learning how to work with others
Collaboration skills are essential in any commercial kitchen role. Our programs teach management techniques such as effective communication with team members and vendors, both in person and over the phone. Our students also learn to coordinate meal service timings with dining room staff.
Implementing operational plans ensures clarity about each staff member’s responsibilities. Since timing is everything in a kitchen, learning how to time courses, prepare food in advance, and maintain stock can help you improve customer service and maintain efficiency.
Maintaining a positive attitude while applying classroom knowledge in real kitchen settings is crucial. While student assessments should be taken seriously, the kitchen environment offers opportunities to experiment with new ingredients, create new dishes, and experiment with foods you may have never worked with before.
