Professional Development Courses
Stephen Bulmer: Professional Development Courses
In addition to courses for amateur cooks, Stephen Bulmer also runs
cookery courses for professional cooks and chefs. Available either as either
a 5 day course, or two separate modules of 2 days or 3 days, these courses
will give smaller businesses and less experienced chefs ideas to improve
the range and quality of the dishes they offer, to make their menus more
appealing, as well as new techniques to help them deliver consistent
quality, reduced wastage and improved profitability.
Stephen has that rare of combination of skills to unlock their potential. He
has trained to the highest standards at Michelin restaurants, but also has
hands-on, commercial experience from running his own restaurant and
cookery school. He can help deliver effective, practical solutions for all
types of catering businesses.
The courses are aimed at those with regular experience of professional
catering, so are fast paced and intensive. Subjects offered include:
Two Day Course: £300 per person
• Meat, Poultry and Game
• Baking and Desserts
Three Day Course: £450 per person
• Bread Making
• Fish & Shellfish
• Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food
Taken together as a five day course: £600 per person
Professional development training is also valued by staff, as an opportunity
to enhance their personal skills and as a reward for hard work. This has the
secondary benefit of improving staff motivation and retention, so reducing
staff turnover and ongoing recruitments costs.
Preferential accommodation rates available on request.
