At International Culinary Studio, we believe in the power of experiential learning and the joy of discovery. That’s why we’re thrilled to be a part of Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi (TMMCU), the Children’s University Programme, fostering a community of lifelong learners and helping children aged 7 to 14 achieve their full potential.
How It Works
Through this partnership, children participating in our programmes can earn credits for their passports, contributing to their educational journey. International Culinary Studio offers opportunities for children to earn credits for up to 10 hours based on the number of hours of instruction.
- Credits for Programmes: Children enrolled in our programmes can earn credits equivalent to the hours of instruction. For example, if a child attends a Barista Course for 3 hours, they will receive 3 hours of credit signed in their passport.
- Holiday Programmes: Children can receive up to 10 hours of credit on one of our popular Junior Chef Holiday Programmes.
- Graduation Ceremony: At the end of the year, TMMCU hosts a grand graduation ceremony where participants, including those from International Culinary Studio, are invited to celebrate their achievements.
