technical drawing
Explanation:
I know it seems strange for a cook to take technical drawing, but maybe it's a part of the general education in a Berufsschule. I also saw that the subject is included for Friseure. The site below appears to be a decent translation of the German site.

Danke lieber Kim! Es gefällt mir zwar nicht, wenn ich bedenke, dass ein Technischer Zeichner 4 Semester studieren muss, aber Ihr habt mich doch überzeugt. Ein Koch soll kochen und ich bewundere ihn, wenn er seine Sache versteht, aber was hat er denn zu zeichnen?
Abgesehen davon steht das Fach zwar auf dem Zeugnis, mein Koch und Metzger hat es aber gar nicht belegt. Also ist es ziemlich Wurscht! :o)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Rowan Morrell: That was my first thought too, but I was a bit unsure because it was a cook. Hard to imagine what else the word could be though.

agree  Jennie Sherrick, MA: I think you're right too about it probably being part of gen.ed. I also found it for certified divers (part of what they should have for vocational traning) at http://www.bibb.de/beruf/profile/weiterb/d-taucher.htm (last bullet before 2.2)

agree  Edith Kelly: Damit der Koch die Verzierung auf dem Kuchen schon fachlich vorplanen kann.
