Trainees learning knife skills at the GoodCooks training academy

Stage 1 of 4

1. Recruit

We look beyond resumes. Candidates are screened for genuine kitchen talent, attitude and reliability — then identity, address and references are verified before anyone enters our academy.

  • Practical cooking skill interview
  • Identity, address & reference verification
  • Screening for hygiene habits and discipline

Stage 2 of 4

2. Train

At the GoodCooks academy, trainees complete structured professional training — kitchen hygiene and food safety, knife skills, menu mastery across home-style cuisines, presentation and the conduct expected inside a family's home.

  • Hygiene & food-safety fundamentals
  • Home-style cuisine mastery & consistency
  • Presentation, punctuality and home etiquette

Stage 3 of 4

3. Assess

Training ends with a practical cooking assessment in our test kitchen. Trainees must cook real, complete meals under time pressure — judged on taste, hygiene, consistency and cleanliness of the workspace.

  • Timed practical cooking assessments
  • Judged on taste, texture & authenticity
  • Workspace hygiene scored separately

Stage 4 of 4

4. Certify

Only trainees who pass the assessment earn the GoodCooks Certification — our promise that this person is a cooking professional, not just an available pair of hands. Certification is renewed through regular refresher training.

  • GoodCooks Certification awarded on merit
  • Only certified cooks deployed to homes
  • Ongoing refresher training & re-assessment
