Intensive Professional Program in French Cuisine
DOWNLOAD THE BROCHURE
For international students considering a career in the food industry, FERRANDI offers an intensive 16-week training program in English that will prepare them to face the challenges of the trade.
Not only do we teach our students culinary skills and the foundations of cuisine, we also train them in professional-grade kitchens with state-of-the-art equipment and in the student-run restaurant, where they manage the kitchen and prepare meals for real clients.
Groups are limited to 12 to 14 participants to ensure a quality experience and personalized guidance.
An internship in a professional kitchen provides students with an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned and to gain hands-on experience that will provide them with an edge on their résumés. Internships are offered to students who demonstrate a high level of motivation and competency during the program, based on grades, attendance record and overall performance.
