Develop your love of culinary arts with an 11-week short course in the fundamental techniques. Continue your studies with two extra terms to earn a Swiss Grand Diploma. 

Our experienced chef instructors will demonstrate techniques and provide you with guidance as you put your new skills into practice. While a kitchen is a disciplined environment, the teaching style remains approachable and lighthearted.

The programme includes approximately 20 hours of kitchen time per week, including practice sessions. Students who enrol and complete at least 2 consecutive terms qualify for a full-time internship in Switzerland or abroad (local conditions apply).
