Commis chefs are 'junior' chefs - they are usually trainees getting their start in the industry and will work alongside senior chefs who are responsible for their training and development.
And that's exactly what you'll be doing as a commis chef apprentice!
Under the watchful eye of experienced chefs, you'll learn to prepare food and carry out basic cooking tasks in a wide variety of areas in a professional kitchen.
Commis chefs are in demand absolutely everywhere, from chain restaurants to hotels, cruise ships and even the local pub serving up tasty grub!
