CULINARY ARTS VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Why obtain a certificate instead of a culinary arts degree? Both the FCI and our Italian Studies department offer highly rewarding and convenient alternatives to a traditional culinary arts degree program. For starters, culinary arts vocational training through the International Culinary Center provides students with more culinary skills in less time.
Through our intense Total ImmersionSM approach, you can graduate in just six months if you take classes during the day, or nine if you train at night. Unlike with a traditional culinary arts degree program, at the International Culinary Center, you can be on your way to a new culinary career in as little as six months! And did we mention that classes start every six weeks?
But the benefits of your culinary arts vocational training don't stop there. At the International Culinary Center, our student-to-teacher ratio averages 12 to 1- the lowest ratio of any culinary arts college or academy in the industry. And at our gourmet cooking school, you'll be taking advantage of an innovative curriculum of culinary classes designed by industry legends such as Alain Sailhac, Jacques Pépin, André Soltner and more. There aren't many other culinary arts degree programs that can compete with that!
The curriculum at the International Culinary Center originated over 30 years ago with the celebrated French Culinary Institute. The FCI offers professional chef courses and culinary arts vocational training that makes us proud to be one of the top gourmet cooking schools in the country, offering quality alternatives to a traditional culinary degree. From the FCI's baking program to our renowned cooking course, Classic Culinary Arts, the FCI offers potential chefs with an exciting variety of possibilities for career training. You can even take a culinary course on how to open and run a restaurant!
Our exciting new Italian Studies program rounds out the curriculum at the International Culinary Center, offering what we feel to be the most comprehensive culinary program to specialize in Italian cuisine of any other culinary arts degree program or academy today.
Our newly-expanded facilities are another highlight of our culinary academy, featuring four floors of kitchens and classrooms dedicated to culinary education. You'll be hard-pressed to find any other culinary arts degree program that provides each student with their own dedicated station of professional-grade cooking equipment (think Hobart mixers and Jade ranges). Our International Culinary Theater is also one more way that our culinary academy distinguishes itself, offering lectures and forums every week from industry-leading food experts and celebrity chefs, making us a true destination for the culinary arts community as a whole, both students as well as seasoned professionals.
Based in the heart of New York City, our gourmet cooking school allows you to learn from a talented team of residential chef-instructors and motivated fellow students- not to mention visiting celebrity chefs who may pop in for an appearance, or the stimulating culinary arts environment of the surrounding Manhattan area. These are just a few of the many reasons why culinary arts vocational training through the International Culinary Center offers chefs a viable career alternative to a traditional culinary arts degree program.
