CulinaryLab

Specialties

We transform chef students into skilled industry-​ready cooks/​chefs, using technology based curriculum and restaurant immersion. CulinaryLab is the first school of its kind that combines community-​built curriculum, tech-​savvy training, hands-​on learning and a sustainable food philosophy.

What’s the best way to learn about working in a professional kitchen? To work in one, of course. Our students spend two days a week working as apprentices in one of our partner restaurants, gaining hours of practice and real world experience that is normally reserved for those who have already graduated culinary school. By reinforcing what they’re learning while working in a real professional kitchen, our students are faster, more skilled, and better prepared to enter the foodservice industry full time after graduation.

Instead of spending countless hours reading culinary textbooks as homework or sitting through uninspired lectures, our students watch comprehensive video demonstrations and navigate online curriculum. We’ve partnered with Rouxbe​.com to provide an engaging video-​driven learning experience

Our Professional Culinary Arts Certificate program starts on Jan. 11, 2016. Call us today to learn more!
