Cooks and Bakers Trade Recognition

The Cooks and Bakers Trade Recognition application process changed effective July 2021.  From that date the South Australian Skills Commission (the Commission) has been tasked with establishing a Trades Recognition Service.  If you would like to be updated about the new process please provide your contact details via email carol@foodandbeveragefundsa.com.au and we will do our best to advise as soon as the new process is available.

The following information refers to the application process prior to July 2021 and is provided for historical information purposes only.
