Cook | Vocational Qualification in Restaurant and Catering Services

Practical training will be carried out in our learning environments at Riveria in Joensuu. An important part of the training will be in work-based learning periods which will be held at local restaurants and public employers’ institutional kitchens.

The first part of the training will be in English added with intensive Finnish studies. Training also includes studies supporting learning skills, study techniques, and social skills. During the studies, the language will gradually change to Finnish as your Finnish language skills develop. Eventually, you will complete your vocational qualification in Finnish and graduate as a cook.

Cook Qualification holders with the competence area of food services work in food preparation tasks at restaurants with different business ideas or missions or in public sector units. They prepare tasty, nutritious, and wholesome food, taking special diets into account, and set out food as individual plated dishes or dishes for a large group of customers.
