This course is a FETAC Level III course but can also be delivered in a general way for those who want to get involved in the practical side of cooking and not achieve a qualification.  It is delivered by the YMCA, and the qualification in FETAC Level III is accredited through ABLES Adult Literacy Scheme.  This course enables participants to develop the skills necessary to prepare and serve food efficiently and safely and allows for participants to work as part of a team as well as express their own creativity.  The cookery module is held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The sessions are also structured to raise awareness of food hygiene, healthy eating and budgeting for meals.
