I found the Executive Certificate in Kitchen Leadership and Management course to be a solid foundation for my career aspirations in the culinary industry. As a chef in Egypt, I was keen to learn more about kitchen management and leadership, and this course provided a comprehensive overview of the key principles and practices. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills and knowledge. One area that I found particularly useful was the module on supply chain management, which gave me a better understanding of how to source high-quality ingredients and manage inventory effectively. While I felt that some of the topics could have been explored in more depth, overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the industry.
