Overview
Complete your study of the online Essential Cooking Certificate course with Leiths Online Cookery School and gain your professional accreditation on this two-day in-person assessment. The Leiths Essentials certificate is an esteemed, internal award which is recognised in the UK as a leading qualification to start a career within the food industry.
Throughout the accreditation weekend, there will be a cookery assessment during which the food you cook will be assessed, and you will have the opportunity for your food to be tasted by an Essential Cookery Certificate Online tutor. You will also sit a theory exam to test a series of key techniques and skills covered over the course. With the addition of creative cookery sessions and demonstrations from Leiths teachers, this promises to be a busy and rewarding couple of days. You will also enjoy a food and wine tasting session, and cook in our professional kitchens alongside fellow online students from a mix of cohorts.
Please note: this assessment is only for students who have completed Leiths’ Online Essential Cookery Certificate. Please do not book a place unless you have completed this course. All applications for the assessment are subject to approval by online tutors.

Allergies and dietary restrictions
We are happy to make adjustments where possible. However, some classes are unsuitable for people with particular intolerances as the menu would need to be completely different. We need 10 days’ notice to be able to properly check the class and adjust the order accordingly. Please read our full policy on allergies and dietary restrictions here.
