The first step to becoming a Korean cook, written theory class!
Cook Skills Written Course
The written exam certifies the ability to prepare safe, hygienic food and is a common test
required before the practical cook skills exam. It covers four subjects:
Food Hygiene & related laws, Public Health, Food Science, Cooking Theory & Costing.
Due to the wide scope, after learning theory, solving past questions can be hard,
so First Cooking Academy combines theory and related practice questions for better review.
However, you must clearly choose the test category as only practical exams related to the passed written test
can be taken.
Recommended for those who want a cook certificate:
- Those seeking employment or startup in food service or catering
- Current workers without a cook certificate
- Those applying for cooking high school or college
- Those wanting a certificate for practical use
