The participation certificate we provide is recognized worldwide:

• Best Culinary Arts Academy in Italy by the Italian Chef Association.
• The certificate is recognized by the Italian Professional Training Organization (ENUIP accredited by MIUR and the Lazio Region).
• The first Italian Academy to obtain the international WACS certification (World Association of Chef Societies), which recognizes the excellent educational method in wine and food education.

Our courses are open to highly motivated students, both Italian and international. No previous experience is required, as all our courses start from the basics.

We simply request an initial informational meeting, without obligation, to assess the real interest, motivation, and passion for cooking/pastry.

Italian Chef Academy is the first culinary school in Italy for the number of graduates who are hired after completing the course.

We attach great importance to job placement, and that’s why, in addition to guaranteeing an internship at the most important establishments in Italy (and possibly abroad) for all our students, we also offer free membership to the Italian Chef Association.

Through periodic newsletters, Telegram, and other means, the Association offers multiple job opportunities to apply for.

We are the only cooking and pastry school in Italy that provides an employment interview for its students upon course completion.

For all students enrolled in the International Module 4 (both for cooking and pastry), the Academy guarantees an employment interview with one of its many partners.

Although the internship is guaranteed for everyone, it is not mandatory. However, it remains a highly recommended training step to test one’s skills in a real work situation.

The duration of the internship varies depending on the chosen module and can take place anywhere in Italy at one of our many partner establishments.

The internship is purely meritocratic to ensure maximum seriousness and professionalism for the hosting structure and to improve the student’s skills with a structure suitable for their current abilities.

As it is a training internship, it will not be paid, and there will be no additional costs, as the Academy covers the insurance, etc.

Furthermore, the internship is not linked to a pre-existing work situation, as it is compatible with each person’s availability.

Finally, we offer the possibility of internships with the possibility of room and board only outside major cities (except for rare cases).
