Depending on the level of education, this can take one to four years. An internship is often part of the curriculum.

Regardless of the education received, most professional kitchens follow the apprenticeship system, and most new cooks will start at a lower-level 2nd or 1st cook position and work their way up. The training period for a chef is generally four years as an apprentice. A newly qualified chef is advanced or more commonly a torquecommis-chef, consisting of first-year commis, second-year commis, and so on. The rate of pay is usually in accordance with the chefs.

Like all other chefs except the executive-chef, trainees are placed in sections of the kitchen (e.g., the starter () or sections) under the guidance of a demi-chef de partie and are given relatively basic tasks.

The chef's neck tie was originally worn on the inside of the jacket to stop sweat running from the face and neck down the body.
