What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

  • asdasdsad

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

  • Prerequisite: Experience working as an executive chef.
  • After successful completion, trainers are qualified to train and certify learners in the corresponding course.
  • Additional levels of our culinary program are available to trainers who successfully complete Essential Culinary Training or Professional Chef Diploma courses.
Note: The term “Diploma” refers to GSL’s proprietary international programs and does not represent an academic degree or a Swiss federal (eidgenössisches) qualification. While based on the Swiss EFZ (Eidgenössisches Fähigkeitszeugnis) level chef apprenticeship, GSL Diplomas are not equivalent to a federal diploma. Recognition may vary by country—participants should check with local authorities or employers.

Why people choose our courses

I've never seen such a well-structured Chef Trainer program before. And what we experienced during the on-site days with Chef Patrick was amazing. Even after eight years in the kitchen, I learned so much. The chef courses I attended in the past were nowhere near the level of this training.

Alexandru S.
Alexandru S.
Chef, Romania

We know that the education in culinary and hospitality schools in Switzerland is high level. What I learned in this training can be easily applied in my restaurant every day, from how to explain to do certain tasks and why to do them in a certain way. It's been a very solid support.

Roland S.
Roland S.
Chef, Romania

The training helped me develop because it was challenging. We had to get out of our comfort zone, even though it was about cooking and we already know how to cook. Assignments were about how to communicate, how to structure information and how to transmit it to others.

Corina G.

Chef, Romania

I plan to use the knowledge we have acquired in this program and the Global Swiss Learning platform at my restaurants to train my team. It will provide them with the necessary knowledge they need before they enter the kitchen.

Nicolae C.
Nicolae C.
Chef, Romania

The impact that this training has had on me and my career is quite significant. I can now train my restaurant staff better! We had 3 months of online training with bi-weekly live sessions—an amazing experience! But everything we achieved during the on-site part with Chef Patrick felt like a 3-year education.

Alexandru S.
Alexandru S.
Chef, Romania

Due to the lack of staff, we have a very high turnover rate in my restaurants, which means we always have to train new staff. Everything I learned from this program will help me implement better, faster, and easier training methods.

Corina G.

Chef, Romania

Three favorite things about the training: 1) How the information is synthesized. 2) The platform is very interactive; you never get bored - there's quizzes to answer and videos to watch. 3) The on-site experience with Chef Patrick over three days. It was a level up for us.
