CookeryLearners aged 10-12 years are taught all methods of cooking such as: baking, roasting, frying, steaming, simmering and others. They learn to prepare different types of dishes some which are prepared for commercial purposes or class projects.

TailoringTailoring involves needle work where learners use their hands and sewing machines to draft different patterns depending on what item is to be made. They learn to make dresses, aprons, skirts, petty coats, sweaters and many others.
