Class of 2022: Reaching for the stars with a Silver Spoon

The Silver Spoon Hospitality Academy sent off a group of students on 8 March who just graduated from a two-year diploma course as well as another group who did an apprentice scheme. The graduates successfully completed their qualification which is internationally recognised. According to the owner and founder of the academy, Tom Mutavdzic, “the academy’s qualification is recognised in 160 countries” thus providing graduates with the opportunity to apply for jobs in various countries, boats, restaurants and cruise ships. The best student of the year award went to diploma student Ethan Beukes for his consistent hard work and constant self-improvement. Beukes described culinary arts as a fun experience which comes with a lot of difficult moments that require you to be tough. He is mostly excited for his next endeavour, as he will be travelling to Germany. Jerry Mbwale, who will be traveling alongside Beukes, said: “Culinary arts has a lot of ups and a lot more downs that requires persistence and consistent dedication, but is very rewarding at the end of the day”. He is grateful for his journey at the academy, despite all the setbacks he has encountered as well as a slight delay in his journey, he said. He added that he is extremely proud of himself for graduating and making it through. Having graduated, Mbwale and Beukes have been provided with the opportunity to continue their culinary journey in Germany. Over the years, the academy has had some major accomplishments including its recent participation in the Young Chef Olympiad Competition this year. Graduate Wellem Van Zyl represented Silver Spoon and did an exceptional job raising the flag high and setting the standard for the rest of his classmates. Gadicha Tsaes, who participated in the same event in 2021, landed a spot among the top 10 finalists of the event in her year. Tsaes said the Olympiad was “an experience I’ll never forget in a million years”. She also said being part of the competition opened so many doors for her and invited greater opportunities. She remains extremely grateful for the opportunity and recommends other students in the culinary arts industry to “never limit yourself whatever goals you set for yourself”. “Go for it and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do it. The only person blocking us from achieving our goals is ourselves.” The successes and achievements of the students speak for the academy itself. The seven diploma graduates and six apprentice graduates are set for a broad future of culinary arts and skills with their internationally accredited qualifications.
