During this three-month program, students receive a broad education in professional cooking and basic pastry making. The dynamic course schedule is designed for people who wish to improve their culinary skills or direct themselves towards a career in professional gastronomy.

The program takes a hands-on approach to cooking techniques, with daily cooking labs supplementing lessons, as well as several field trips to local food production centers and guest lectures from visiting Croatian and international chefs.

Students will be provided with the foundational knowledge required to begin working in the culinary profession. Students will learn about thermal and mechanical food processing, identifying ingredient quality, coupling seasonings, knife work, creating quality restaurant menus, arranging and serving dishes, professional cooking standards, food portions, food preservation, and the history of gastronomy. Along with the professional skills that students learn during this program, they will also have the opportunity to meet successful chefs working in contemporary gastronomy and join a network of professionals in the industry.

The Culinary Arts program is ideal for students planning a professional career in the culinary industry or considering a career change. During this three-month course, students gain a comprehensive understanding of cooking methods and techniques used in the French and Italian cuisines, and a deeper understanding of the hospitality industry and tourism standards, food hygiene, restaurant management, wines, beer production, and kitchen ecology. The course is hands-on, and students spend 80% of class time in the kitchen preparing a la carte dishes. At the end of the program, students can choose to intern in successful restaurants or hotels.

Because we believe that cooking is best learned through hands-on experience, our curriculum is designed so that 80% of class time is dedicated to practicums.

The field trips to restaurants, hotels, and suppliers help students better understand the restaurant and hotel businesses, the production chain of the food industry, as well as preparation and storage techniques. The field trips are a great opportunity to network with colleagues and enthusiasts from the industry.
