York College student is feeding their dreams of rosettes

Simon Vaughan, hospitality student on his passion for cooking, his career aspirations and why he chose York College.

“The in-house restaurant at College replicates the real working environment and I get along really well with the tutors.”

"I’m really passionate about cooking and being a chef, so that is why I chose this course. I like getting the chance to learn in a calm environment and covering all the basics you need for the industry.

"Nowhere else offered the course I wanted to do, and the College has great facilities.

"I started working part-time in a kitchen when I was at school, so I knew this was what I wanted to do. The in-house restaurant at College replicates the real working environment and I get along really well with the tutors.

"After completing this course I aim to progress to Level 3. I dream of achieving my own rosettes at a restaurant I’m working at, and then maybe at a restaurant that I own."

Simon is currently studying our Hospitality Diploma, level 2.
