What Students Are Saying

Excellent training in both baking and culinary arts. Master trained chefs and world-class instructors. Professionalism is key.

Lots of studying and practicing if you want to be good.
Calum from Tampa, FL
One class every 2 weeks. Lots of stress, but many before you have done it before and were succesful. Study, study, study.
C.D. from Tampa, FL
it is fine, not so high or not too low.

The curricular programs the CIA offers are intense and fast paced. The academic and practical classes move quickly and therefore students must be proactive in their want to succeed. An externship is required in the program that will allow students to get hands on experience in the industry. This also means, you must have skills to acquire a job through interviews and stages(trials) in kitchen settings. The academics are challenging and are challenging to prep students to be leaders in this food and beverage industry.
