The best part about the course so far has been how interactive it’s been and how the assignment recipes can be altered to fit different serving sizes!! Also having an amazing Instructor Chef (Zelda) who has been massively helpful in all areas

– Kelsey Wellington

The registration process was easy. The learning material is very useful. What I like about the assessments is that there is feedback from the Instructor in which my errors and areas for improvement are pointed out to me.

– Yvan Darang

I have used International Culinary Studio to improve the skills of myself and my staff. And I have always found their courses of great value and very user friendly.

– Mark McCracken @ComberCuisine

Our learning hub had Chef Andy in to teach the Year 5-6 students. It was great, Andy taught them about the importance of cleanliness and tidiness in the kitchen and a few other great skills. It was great to have a talented chef in with the students. They did learn a lot”
