The Independent Cookery Schools Association (ICSA) who have been accrediting cookery schools which deliver quality in person ‘immersive’ cookery classes, courses and diploma’s at their Academy Cookery Schools, which includes the Natural Chef College in London, has recently provided their expertise to assess the growing number of professionally created online culinary content.
James Day, Head of Operations at not-for-profit ICSA commented “Our assessments are rigorously carried out at our member schools who are either invited to join, or apply via our applications process. We focus primarily on the teaching standards of the schools, assessing the skills of the tutors, alongside successes of their students who are able to learn the key transferable skills taught during the classes and courses, we also look at their facilities, approach to seasonality, sustainability and sourcing polices. The transition to online content remains equally relevant on the teaching skills of the tutors, and their ability to communicate key messages and promote our core values.
Continuing “The extensive courses provided by The Natural Chef, and the evident in-depth knowledge of the tutors, and professionals who teach the core modules on the courses was second to none. Supported by the course notes, and their extremely useful ‘cheat sheets’ helping student remember the key messages, and principles of cooking via a Naturopathic diet were all essential learning tools and help contribute to their award. We are delighted to award The Natural Chef team this coveted ICSA Online Accreditation for teaching standards.”
Sam Hamrebtan, Natural Chef Director added “We’re delighted to be awarded this accreditation by ICSA. Translating a practical course to an online audience in an engaging and meaningful way takes time to get right; we’re proud that this course provides the rigour and depth necessary to launch many more Natural Chefs into the global market.
