How to become a line cook?

To become a line cook, you likely need a high school diploma or equivalent. Though some jobs require an associate degree or culinary school certificate, many line cook jobs will provide on-the-job training. You can also complete a kitchen internship which may help give you an advantage in your job search and help you hone your kitchen skills.
