What is the student to teacher ratio?
Answer: The student to teacher ratio gives you a strong indication of how personalized your learning experience will be. Our ratio is approximately 10 students to one teacher in culinary labs. We limit the maximum number of students in a lab class to 18 students.
How much time is spent in labs compared to restaurant work?
Answer: Both controlled lab work and restaurant work are necessary parts to a culinary education. However many schools have the students work most of the time in a restaurant setting. The main reason for this is that it is less expensive to work the student as an employee then to train the student in a non restaurant lab setting. The student doesn't learn as much in a restaurant since the production is often redundant and intensity varies due to customer demands. Our students work in both controlled labs and restaurant settings, but the majority course work and hours are done in controlled labs.
What is the ratio of school training to internship?
Answer: Over 85% of our training is done at the school in labs. That works out to 2 academic years of school lab training and 12 weeks of internship and co-ops. Some schools only offer only 1 year of school training and the remainder is spent working at an internship.
