Question

What GCSE's do i need to be a chef?

Answer 1

OBVIOUSLY NOT PE

Answer 2

I'd reckon it would probably help to take Food Technology (Domestic Science or whatever you want to call it!). Perhaps Business Studies might be useful at some point as well.

Answer 3

At least 4 GCSEs, A*-C.  Although there are no specific subject requirements, I would go for English Language, Maths, Food Technology and either Biology or Chemistry.  These will all be of use to you throughout your career as a chef, and they will also be useful if you change your mind.

Answer 4

Well when i went to college to train to be a chef i only needed four C's in any subject and i don't think it's changed much. Being a chef is not so much about being academic, it's about a passion for the job. I know a lot of Head Chefs who don't actually care about it that much, they would rather have someone in the kitchen who is hard working and keen to learn than a truckful of exams. If you want some advice, ask around and see if you can get a part time job in a hotel or restaurant kitchen with a good reputation. A good chef likes to take keen youngsters under their wing to teach them the trade and you may either end up getting a job there or at least having a good reference

Answer 5
