Testimonials
“I am truly happy and grateful for attending the Culinary Tech Center. Not only has it provided me with the proper knowledge, skills, and certifications that I was seeking to obtain. But I also gained self-confidence in my cooking and in starting my own catering business. My teachers became my mentors guiding me through difficult times, providing me with great advice, and sharing their wisdom. I love the small class settings which enabled me to have a lot of one on one attention. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Overall, being a student at this school was a great experience. I created lifelong memories and relationships that I will never forget.”
“The program has given me a great work ethic and a lot of skills that I’ve been able to use working in a professional restaurant kitchen. I’m really grateful for my chef instructors’ guidance and all of the instruction I got while studying here. I have been working at Combina in Soho for the past five months—I actually helped them open the restaurant. They serve Spanish-Israeli tapas, and I love my job there.”
“I had a great time working with the instructors here at the Culinary Tech Center. I learned everything I know from Chef George. I now work at American Cut with Chef Marc Forgione.”
“The culinary program put me on my feet and set me in the right direction. I’m now working as a line cook at two restaurants at Jean Georges’ Perry St. and Spice Market.”
