This course is structured for those helpers who are already rather fluent in the kitchen and already have some confidence in understanding what Western cooking is all about. This will ‘iron out’ the remaining few ‘hick-ups’ that you encounter in the kitchen when your helper is not quite at the cooking expertise level you expect.

I do strongly recommend the basic course is completed prior to placing your helper in the intermediate course.
