is designed for all chefs and cooks on board commercial sea bound vessels and the certificate is legally required in accordance with the Marine Labour Convention (MLC 2006). Providing objective assessment of a chef’s skills in a controlled environment, the Entier course verifies chefs attending can cook correctly and safely across a range of techniques, using a variety of foods.

Aimed at all seafarers with proven experience in the industry with an appropriate food hygiene certificate but no formal cookery qualifications, the course will provide a formal qualification to work across sea bound vessels internationally.
At just £600 inc VAT, our course provides excellent value for money, with trainees benefiting from our high-end training facilities and the knowledge of our highly qualified assessor.

The course, delivered over 1.5 days, includes a practical assessment and theory exam assessed by Entier’s Executive Chef Orry Shand, Scottish Chef of the Year 2019-2021 and Captain of the Scottish Culinary Team. This will offer candidates an approved certificate and qualification to work on sea bound vessels internationally.

The assessment is thorough and covers food and knife health & safety, healthier diets, allergens & food intolerance and requires attendees to produce a 3-course meal in 3 hours followed by a nautical cook’s theory assessment.
