Launch Your Teen’s Culinary Journey: TY Course Dates Now Available!

23rd January 2025

We’re excited to announce the new term dates for our highly sought-after Essential Skills for TY 5-Day Course at Dublin Cookery School! This course isn’t just about cooking—it’s about equipping your teenager with essential life skills and giving them a head start in the world of food.

Why Enrol Your Teen?

Transition Year is a fantastic opportunity to develop practical skills and explore potential career paths. Our 5-day course is designed to inspire a love of food while also teaching valuable skills that can open doors to future opportunities, especially in hospitality.

Here’s why this course is an excellent investment in your teen’s future:

  1. HACCP Level 1 Certification: At the end of the course, your teen will receive an internationally recognised HACCP Level 1 certificate, giving them a strong foundation in food safety and hygiene. This qualification is essential for anyone pursuing part-time jobs or careers in the food and hospitality industry.
  2. Essential Life Skills: Cooking is a fundamental life skill. By learning how to create delicious, well-balanced meals from scratch, your teen will gain confidence and independence in the kitchen.
  3. A Foundation for Hospitality Jobs: For teens considering part-time work in cafés, restaurants, or other hospitality roles, this course provides an invaluable introduction to the culinary world. They’ll learn professional kitchen techniques, organisational skills, and how to work efficiently under pressure—qualities that employers in the industry value highly.
  4. Global Culinary Knowledge: The course offers a taste of international cuisines, from vibrant Asian flavors to Mediterranean classics. This not only enhances their cooking repertoire but also gives them an edge when it comes to understanding diverse food trends.
  5. Teamwork & Social Skills: Working in a professional kitchen requires collaboration and communication. Our course encourages teamwork, helping students build interpersonal skills while making new friends along the way.
  6. A Pathway to Passion: Whether they’re dreaming of a career in the culinary arts or simply looking for a fulfilling hobby, this course is an inspiring introduction to the world of food and hospitality.

What Parents Are Saying

  • "Absolutely loved her week"

    My daughter absolutely loved her week. She loves eating good food but has never really cooked anything beyond very simple dishes so she learned a lot. I was very pleasantly surprised by the number and variety of dishes she cooked.

    My son loved his TY week, delicious dishes from around the world. The knife skills were popular too! He hasn’t really stopped cooking at home since.

    It is jam-packed with recipes and skills and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
