Earn while you learn with DCT's Certificate in Culinary Operations Apprenticeship programme!
DCT is proud to pioneer a culinary apprenticeship programme - the first of its kind in the UAE - with top industry partners.
What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are work-study programmes that combine on-the job training at a specific employer with related classroom instruction at college.
Students enrolled in the Level 4 Culinary Operations Apprenticeship will learn in blocks. Some blocks will be taught in the classroom at DCT (40% of the programme), but the majority of learning (60%) will take place while working in an industry partner’s kitchen facilities, supervised by industry-appointed chefs. Students enrolled in the apprenticeship will have labour contracts and will receive a monthly salary throughout the duration of the programme.
