TRAININGS

An experienced and skilled chef is well-respected and will contribute towards a better atmosphere on board.

We offer specialized cook training programs at our IFS Training center in the Philippines and at our Maritime Food Lab in Antwerp. Our own training centers are highly recommended by our clients and business professionals.

  MLC accredited

Our training centers are accredited and MLC qualified. We make sure that all galley staff trained by us have the correct skills and mindset to give their best to the job.

People have to believe in themselves and need to be open to learn and develop our training methods and ways of working. Otherwise they will not be able to put it into practice on board.

— Michel Pradolini, CEO

  Training courses

With our own training courses, we turn the cook and galley staff into a devoted, experienced and qualified cooking team. Customized or on-board training is available on request.
