“This program will reach out not only to Filipino Muslims who wish to build their culinary enterprise based on Halal principles but also to those who wish to cater to foreigners or work abroad in Islamic countries. A CCA Manila diploma will surely give them an edge over the others.” -- Dr.  Ma. Veritas Luna, CCA, Manila's Chancellor for Education.

The country’s first Halal Culinary Arts Course is a compressed 102-hour, 16-day comprehensive hands-on program based on CCA, Manila’s aim in developing cooking skills while applying the principles of Halal. Each class was designed to teach specific skills, which will gradually become more complex as the program progresses. The sessions include group tasting and critique of the day’s work by the chef instructor so that the participants continue to develop their palates, identify successes, and learn from their experiences.
