The practical exam is 3 hours with a final evaluation to the practical skills and the sensory testing of the recipes made.

Subject specific exam advice

The written part of the NEA must be complete over 12 hours. A dated plan will be issued. If a lesson is missed, it must be caught up during lunchtime under exam conditions.  

Practical exam – make sure you cook your chosen recipe at home at least twice before the exam. Think about portion size, how to present them for the venue and the customer. You are not allowed to cook them in lessons before your exam.
