Dechreuais weithio gyda fy ngyflogwr nôl ym 2012, fy swydd gyntaf oedd fel commis chef, ac mi oedd y gwaith yn amrywio o lanhau i baratoi/coginio. Mwynheuais mas draw, a phan ges i’r cyfle i wneud NVQ neidiais ar y cyfle. Fe wnes i wir mwynhau’r profiad, o wneud arsylwadau, i gwestiynu’r wybodaeth a gwneud gwaith ymchwiliol i mewn i’r hyn doeddwn i ddim yn deall ar y pryd. Teimlaf drwy wneud y cymhwyster yma, mae wedi fy ngalluogi i symud ymlaen yn fy swydd; nawr gallaf drosglwyddo’r wybodaeth newydd sydd gen i i wneud awgrymiadau ar y bwydlenni a’r ryseitiau. Ar ôl ychydig o fisoedd, fe ges i ddyrchafiad i fod yn Chef de Partie, ac yn ystod yr amser yna defnyddiais fy sgiliau i helpu aelodau newydd o’r tîm. Fe ges i y cyfle i symud i weithle arall ac yna mi oeddwn i’n 2ail Gogydd; mi oedd hyn hefyd yn mynd i fod yn sialens i fi. Fe wnes i wir mwynhau fy amser yna ac eto defnyddiais nifer o’r sgiliau enillais o’r prentisiaeth. Ym 2016, fe ges i ddyrchafiad arall, y tro yma i fod yn Brif Gogydd dros dro, gweithiais yn y rôl yma am amser a phryd daeth y cyfle i fod yn brif gogydd yn un o’r ceginau arall y cwmni, cymerais i y swydd, yna penderfynais mi oedd yn amser i wneud Lefel 3. Roedd y sgiliau roedd yn rhaid i fi ddatblygu a’r wybodaeth dysgais i, wedi fy helpu i greu bwydlenni a ryseitiau fy hun ac i greu costau fy hun a ble i’w ffynonellu o. Rydw i mor hapus gyda phopeth rydw i wedi eu cyflawni a dysgu hyd at hyn ac rydw i’n edrych ymlaen i ennill fy nghymhwyster.

Cymerais ran yn y cwrs Arweinyddiaeth Tîm gyda PRP Training, ac mae popeth â ddysgais wedi fy helpu i symud ymlaen trwy’r cwmni.

Fe wnaeth PRP Training helpu gyda fy nghyrsiau arlwyo, roedd hyn yn golygu mi oeddwn i’n gallu symud ymlaen yn fy ngyrfa. Alla i ddim eu hargymell ddigon.

I started working with my employer in 2012, my first job there was as a commis chef, and my jobs would range from cleaning to prep/cooking. I really enjoyed it, when I got the chance to do an NVQ I jumped at it. I really enjoyed the experience and how we could change and adapt my learning, from doing observations, to questioning knowledge and doing research to help me understand things I didn’t at the time. I believe that doing this qualification helped me get better at my job role; I could apply my new found and developed knowledge and make suggestions on menu items and recipes. After a few months I got promoted to CDP, during this time I used my skills to develop other newer/junior team members. I had the chance to move on to another workplace, I would become the 2nd chef; this was going to be another challenge for me. I really enjoyed my time there and again used many of the skills I learned from my apprenticeship. In 2016 I was promoted to acting head chef, I worked in this role for quite some time and when the chance arose for me to become a head chef at one of the company’s kitchens I took it, then I decided it was time to do my level 3. The skills I have had to develop and knowledge I have learned has helped me to develop my own menus and recipes, to complete my own costing’s and sourcing. I am really happy with what I have achieved and learned so far and look forward to completing my qualification.

PRP Training helped me with my catering courses, meaning I could advance my career. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

I took part in the Team Leading course with PRP Training, and everything I learnt has help me progress through the company.
