The Swiss Diploma in Culinary Arts is tailored specifically for food enthusiast, aspiring culinary experts and entrepreneurs or professionals eager to explore Swiss and European Gastronomy. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of Swiss and European culinary arts, master fundamental cooking techniques, and learn to prepare traditional and contemporary dishes with precision and finesse. One year total program duration including one internship.

The Kitchen Experience

Our experienced and decorated chef instructors teach culinary demonstrations in front of the class to explain each technique. Students then practice the techniques learned during the demonstration with chef guidance every step of the way. While a kitchen is a disciplined environment, the teaching style remains approachable and light-hearted.

Students who enrol and complete at least 2 consecutive terms qualify for a paid full-time internship in Switzerland or abroad. For those students completing an internship in Switzerland, language courses may become a mandatory part of the programme in preparation for the placement.
