The Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery echoes the skills and knowledge of an individual working as a commercial cook, and provides direction and team leading in the kitchen. Commercial cooks work independently or receive minimal guidance from others and instead use their discretion to find solutions to non-routine challenges. This qualification provides a pathway to work in organisations such as restaurants, hotels, clubs, pubs, cafes and coffee shops, or to run a small business in these sectors.
