Leiths Online Cookery School Avis 

It was a great experience i learned how to cook new cuisine ...intructions were pretty easy to follow certainly would recommend this course for all beginners in the kitchen

My daughter took part in the Duke of Edinburgh course and absolutely loved it. The recipes were perfect to challenge, but not to overwhelm, fantastic feedback each week and all recipes were delicious. We are now missing our weekend treat of trying new things. I highly recommend for any budding young chefs. I'd love to see more coursed aimed at this age group. Thank you Leiths.

The course was fun, easy to follow, and resulted in some lovely family meals.

Really good profesional course, lots of really tasty recepies teaching core skills and really easy to follow with the video tutorials.
Would highly recommend the course.

Really great videos and helpful advice from instructor

The course was really supportive and fun!

The actual recipes were very good but i found the layout of the videos and ingredients quite confusing and a bit stressful when you need to follow along and also have food cooking

Great step by step videos and encouraging feedback

Delicious meals and amazing teaching with easy to follow lessons and helpful functions.

It’s the best cooking course I have ever come across and worth every penny!! Just can’t recommend enough! The teachers are incredible, the menus and flavours are perfect and the video quality excellent! I have done 3 of their courses and planning to do every single one!! You won’t regret it, you will learn everything you need to know!

Some of the recipes can be simplified so they are more enjoyable to the age groups of bronze Duke of Edinburgh. Other than that, delicious food, spot on advice on skills and food safety and overall a great experience

I have just completed the Leiths online Nutrition in culinary practice course. The course has given me skills in areas of cooking that I have never previously explored, as well as the confidence to play around with ingredients within recipes. The theory contained with in the course ( around 50% of the modules) was interesting and well presented. The course was easy to follow with an online practical assessment at the end. My two mentors, one from Leiths and one from Pure Package were helpful, gave good feedback and answered all of the questions I had. For someone who works full time with a family still living at home, the course fitted in well to my week as I could complete the modules when time allowed. I enjoyed the course so much I have already signed up for another and am still deciding on the trip to Leiths for the conversion to accreditation ( it’s purely a logistics thing!). If you are looking to expand your knowledge and repertoire plus some self improvement but you are restricted by life commitments then I would recommend the Leiths online courses.

Loved everything about this online course. The videos and notes were really clear and took you step by step, and the mentor’s feedback was always really useful. Learned some brand new skills

From a nervous start I found all of the instructions, the videos and the post session feedback to be really useful.
The videos are really good and take you though each step at a pace that is easy to follow all of the instructions, especially helpful in the first few sessions.
I found it really good fun, had the family asking what they were going to eat next.
I also like the alternative suggestion, such as a different fruit to use or meat to substitute or dietary changes.

I know it was a basic course, but a session could have been put on regarding knife skills and the five senses for plant based foods (unami, salty, bitter, sweet & sour) More education around nutritional values and substitutes etc

Greate feeling what I learnt from my course, it helps a lot to improve my cookery skills .
Thanks

Lovely course, all lessons well explained and provided very nice dishes. The challenge level was perfect. A lot of techniques explained and the whole experience made me want to cook even more.

Easy to understand the teachers and instructions
I didn’t know that learning to cook could be so much fun.

This was a great experience and was done at a good pace. It is good being able to cook when your calendar permits and to do it in the comfort of one’s own home is an added bonus.
Would thoroughly recommend this course.

I recently completed the Online Essential Professional Course and overall found it to be a well-structured and worthwhile programme.
The app was extremely easy to navigate and the units were presented in a clear, logical way. Each lesson was straightforward to follow, which made the learning experience enjoyable and accessible. One of the biggest strengths of the course is the focus on transferable cooking skills. The techniques build progressively, allowing students to gain a solid foundation that can be applied to many different dishes and cooking styles.
The course also offers a very good selection of recipes, many of which are interesting and useful for building confidence in the kitchen.
However, there are several areas where the course could be improved, particularly considering the significant cost of enrolment.
Most recipes are designed for four portions, which is not always practical for those living alone or cooking for two. It would have been helpful if the course had provided guidance on scaling recipes or making use of excess food, as this is a common issue when following professional-style recipes at home.
Another disappointment was the certificate. Given the reputation of the school and the price of the course, the certificate felt surprisingly basic and rather underwhelming. A higher quality finish, such as an embossed seal or more substantial presentation, would make it feel more in keeping with the prestige of the course.
Finally, it would have been extremely useful if the course had included at least a rough indication of ingredient costs. This would help students plan more effectively and understand the practical cost of preparing the dishes being taught.
In summary, the course delivers strong foundational cooking skills and is presented in a very user-friendly way. However, small improvements in practical guidance and presentation would significantly enhance the overall experience and better reflect the premium price of the course.
