CULINARY ARTS VOCATIONAL TRAINING
The International Culinary Center offers promising certificate alternatives to traditional culinary degrees. Whether you choose to enroll at the celebrated French Culinary Institute or take gourmet cooking classes through our new Italian Studies program, we offer professional chef courses to suit every student.
Founded in 1984, the French Culinary Institute has long served as a benchmark for gourmet cooking schools across the country. Featuring our Classic Culinary Arts course as well as career baking classes through our baking and pastry schools, the impact of our pioneering culinary course curriculum has been proven time and again by our thousands of successful graduates and culinary talents located around the country and across the world. The influential legacy of the FCI is just one more thing that gives our school the edge over so many other culinary degree programs.
Our new Italian Studies program continues the legacy of the FCI by offering unparalleled training in the Italian culinary arts. Designed by Master Chef Cesare Casella, available cooking classes in this program range from Fundamentals of Italian Cooking to the impressive Italian Culinary Experience. Totaling over 1,000 hours of instruction, this revolutionary program provides an exhilarating overview of Italian cuisine, culture, language, and history, with chef courses in both New York City as well as at Alma in Parma, Italy.
OUR ACADEMY OF CULINARY ARTS
Based in Soho at the heart of New York City's thriving culinary scene, the International Culinary Center is more than just an acclaimed gourmet cooking school or the new home of the FCI. From TV shows being filmed at our International Culinary Theater to our award-winning restaurant, L'Ecole, we're destination for the global culinary community at large.
Why consider a certificate from our academy instead of a culinary arts degree? For starters, our innovative Total ImmersionSM approach teaches in months what another culinary arts college or academy could take years to impart. In just six months if you take classes during the day, or nine months if you take classes at night, you can be well on your way to an exciting career in the culinary arts.
Accelerated learning through Total ImmersionSM means you'll learn by doing, taking advantage of a distinguished curriculum designed by leading culinary minds, from Jacques Torres to Alain Sailhac. Following the example of your talented chef-instructors, you'll be able to make the most of every culinary class because you'll also have your own dedicated cooking station, replete with the latest professional-grade equipment (think Winkler Wachtel deck ovens). Not many other culinary degree programs can compare with both our world-class cooking facilities as well as our low student-to-faculty ratio of 12 to 1- the lowest in the industry, in fact.
Additionally, our network of over 6,000 graduates provides many promising opportunities and career connections for students. Unlike other culinary degree programs, International Culinary Center isn't only focused on providing you with the best training possible, but also on nurturing your career opportunities through ongoing assistance with job placement.
Classic Culinary Arts students at the FCI also complete their culinary training by cooking at our Zagat- and Michelin-rated school restaurant, L'Ecole. Providing our graduates with experience at a restaurant of such high caliber is yet another way our academy goes above and beyond what other culinary degree programs have to offer.
Of course, our cooking courses through the French Culinary Institute and our new Italian Studies program are the heart of our center for culinary arts.
