Reviews
"Well planned and execution of the course. Via video worked well, due to COVID restrictions etc. Have already started my job due to a very quick turn around of course exams, certificate sent quickly. Highly recommended for all who wish to enter into the Hospitality Industry serving Alcohol."
"I did the one-day bread making course and loved it. The course leader, Ralf, was a fount of baking knowledge that he imparted throughout the day. I came away with enough baked goods to justify the course cost! Great facilities and epic location."
"Had such a great time taking NZ Cert in Cookery Level 3 in 2016. Course is well structured. Lovely staff! Highly recommended."
"I completed the level 3 and 4 certificate in cookery last year. I was encouraged and supported the whole way through by very knowledgeable tutors and staff, who always had time to answer any questions I had along the way. I also was able to complete 'real life' work experience in restaurants and at events such as the Taste of Auckland. Small class sizes and lots of hands on practical time in the kitchen provided me with the necessary knowledge and skills to easily enter the restaurant field. I am looking forward to continuing on this year. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to enter the hospitality industry or for those wishing to further their own personal interests in food and wine."
"I was in the first advanced class at the Auckland campus. Although it was an interesting transition to the new building, Celia was exceptionally accommodating. We partook in exclusive event wine tastings, had a judge from Master Chef complete a demonstration, and most importantly, made a lot of amazing food. Our unit on lamb was especially exciting as Celia had fresh lamb quarters shipped up from her farm on the South Island. We went from deboning to plate, using every cut and sweetbread possible. As an international student, the school was helpful in getting the necessary documents for me to apply for my visa. After graduating, I secured a position working with a 3 time nominated James Beard Award chef. Although I am no longer in the food industry, I'm still able to pick out great wines and compose meals that always impress!"
