If there is one thing both of us agree on, it is the commitment one must have to developing one’s skills through training. Every 1-2 years we both undertake professional courses and workshops to expand ourselves and our ability to remain competitive in the global work market because we believe that attending regular training sessions demonstrates a passion for personal and professional growth. We believe that knowledge leads to empowerment.
Recently, Chef and Steward joined forces with Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management, which is is the premiere hospitality education facility in the Middle East. The school is fully licensed by the UAE’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and accredited by by the UK’s Institute of Hospitality and the THE-ICE in Australia.
We consulted with highly respected hospitality training director, Karyn Williams-Sykes, who heads the Training & Professional Development Department at Emirates Academy for course recommendations to achieve our long term career objectives. Chef has undertaken numerous courses there and when he was looking to update skills in Restaurant Revenue Management, he selected their course that was specially tailored for culinary and F&B executives and owners.
It was a major selling point that the course is delivered by the much sought after restaurant concept developer, Daniel During and was practically scheduled for even a busy head chef to pencil into his diary.
