Apprenticeship Programmes: Thames Valley UniversityAcademy of Culinary Arts Chefs Apprenticeship Diploma at Thames Valley University Since 1993 the Academy of Culinary Arts apprenticeship programme at Thames Valley University has worked on the same principle as the Bournemouth & Poole College course. During this 3 year day release course students follow NVQ 2 and 3 in Professional Cookery and NVQ 3 in Patisserie & Confectionery; the course concludes with an Academy of Culinary Arts Diploma Examination in Professional Cookery. In addition, students will receive talks and demonstrations from visiting guest lecturers as well as tutored visits to specialist farms and suppliers that will form an intrinsic element of this top level apprenticeship programme. Apprentices are also encouraged to work with a local school in conjunction with Chefs Adopt a School. Ideally candidates for the course should be aged between 16 and 19 years old, however, applicants up to the age of 23 will be considered, subject to interview. All apprentices must be working within the industry, ideally for a member of the Academy of Culinary Arts, whilst studying. 16 places are allocated to this course at each level each year.
