Frequently asked questions about Rouxbe training
How online training, assessments, and reporting work for your team.
Will there be an in-person instructor?
Rouxbe is primarily an online learning platform designed for flexible, self-paced training. Teams can also complete brief live assessments together for a hybrid learning experience. If your organization requires in-person instruction, Rouxbe offers custom training sessions that can be scoped to your needs.
Is there a specific start date?
You can structure learning times to fit your staff's needs.
Do all team members need to take courses at the same time and pace?
Staff can start training anytime, either independently or in a cohort.
Do we need to complete live assessments on-site?
No. Live assessments are optional. Some teams complete them together to verify techniques and reinforce team learning. Each assessment takes about 5–10 minutes, and multiple assessments can typically be completed in a one-hour session each month. Assessments can also be completed fully online through the Rouxbe platform using photo submissions reviewed by Rouxbe chef instructors.
