Hi Alebata and welcome to the forum.

Here you go; follow this .

Word of warning; most restaurants in Holland want their chefs to have the "Horeca" diploma; I've never heard of a course in any other language than Dutch.

Best of luck in your journey.

Excuse me but In that site there were only chef /cook position in the hotels ! I wonder if there is any little restaurant of 40/50 seat聽 to manage like a bistrot .I'd like to take care of every single dish and operate in a place like that

Try this instead.

Regarding the Horeca diploma; I've just read up on it and it appears to be a requirement for restaurant owners/managers; so before you spend your money, speak to the Restaurant you are interested in and see if it is a requirement.

It may not be necessary; I'm speaking from my brother-in-law's experience; he was a chef in Holland, but he wanted to run a venue that was sport (tennis) related, but with a restaurant; he definitely聽 needed the Horeca for that.聽 In Holland, when chef's go through there training, the Horeca qualification was part of there overall training.

I know there are several italian restaurants in Amsterdam and I think you will have more opportunities there than in Rotterdam. In an Italian restaurant, maybe Dutch wouldn't be compulsory in kitchen...
