Certificate in Culinary Industry Management (CCIM026) at LSTH
Most chefs reach a point where the next step isn't about cooking better — it's about running the kitchen as a business. The Certificate in Culinary Industry Management (CCIM026) is built for that moment. It's a focused introduction to operations, staffing, supply chain and budgeting from a culinary point of view.
This certificate isn't a chef's hat course. It's the business-facing side of kitchen work — for line cooks moving up, sous chefs taking on more responsibility, and small food business owners trying to build something that survives the second year.
Why Kitchens Need Management Literacy
Talent in the kitchen runs aground on rotas, food cost percentages and supplier disputes far more often than on skill. The Certificate in Culinary Industry Management (CCIM026) gives you the everyday tools to handle those areas without losing your kitchen perspective.
Who This Certificate Is For
- Cooks and line chefs preparing to step up to junior supervisor roles.
- Owners of small food businesses who need a structured management base.
- Career changers from operations or admin roles entering kitchens.
- Chefs targeting franchise or chain F&B management positions.
Career Pathways
Graduates of the Certificate in Culinary Industry Management typically pursue roles such as junior kitchen supervisor, F&B coordinator, kitchen administrator, or apply it to running their own small food venture. Some progress to diploma-level study in hospitality or culinary management. The certificate is a useful step but doesn't substitute for hands-on years.
How the Certificate Is Delivered
Because this is a management-focused certificate, much of the content suits classroom or online delivery. The intake calendar and final module structure are confirmed at enrolment, including any optional industry-linked elements.
Entry Requirements
