If you’re keen for a rewarding career in the field of professional cookery, our jam-packed one year (fulltime) Culinary Arts programme from the prestigious International Hotel School is the course for YOU!
It’s about passion, dedication and an opportunity to learn the very best culinary principles and techniques in modern practical kitchens from our highly trained chef lecturers. Because the programme covers both the theory and practical cooking skills to prepare you (job ready) to become a chef – it’s the perfect starting point for your culinary career. Plus, you can add on a second year to include either a 6 month Patisserie programme, or the Advanced Diploma in Food Preparation and Cookery Supervision (6 months), or both to really get ahead.
What to expect
The programme, which is offered in our Sandton, Cape Town and Durban campuses consists of 50% theory and practical cookery on campus, and 50% practical work experience which takes place in leading hospitality establishments countrywide. It’s the best of both worlds and it’s what sets us apart from our competitors! To enrol, you will need to have a Grade 10 certificate (minimum), although a Senior Certificate is always a big plus.
Courses start each year in January and July and when you graduate, you’ll receive:
• South Africa National Qualifications Certificate in Professional Cookery NQF 4 (SAQA ID No: 14111)
• City & Guilds Diploma in Food Preparation and Cooking (Culinary Arts)
