The Center for Culinary Arts uses an interactive learning model to engage students in the learning process. The process involves discussion, demonstrations, hands-on experiences, and real-world industry experiences to prepare students for careers in restaurant and hospitality services. The faculty is passionate about cooking, and they do their best to impart their passion to the students.
Diploma in Culinary Arts
Students who complete the program earn a Diploma in Culinary Arts. Courses are divided into three areas: savory food cooking techniques, baking and pastry techniques and kitchen management skills. You’re exposed to a wide range of foods and cooking techniques, from classic to modern, and learn to create beautiful, delicious dishes.
You’ll learn to cook many cuisines—French, Mediterranean, Asian, Worldwide and American Regional. You’ll also gain expertise in baking, wines and kitchen management. You’ll learn from the experts, practice in the school kitchens and implement what you’ve learned in real-world internships.
Accreditation
The Center for Culinary Arts has met the high accreditation standards of the American Culinary Federation.
Facility
The school is located just off of Interstate 91, within commuting distance of Massachusetts and central Connecticut. The campus has modern classrooms, a dining facility and two well-equipped commercial kitchens. One kitchen is set up brigade-style, and one in the European island style, so you gain experience in both working environments.
