“It seems to me that CCA creates not just cooks, but chefs. They’re not just a culinary school, they’re a community with a very strong support system for their students, whether current or past. No wonder they were able to groom some of the most prominent chefs in the country and most probably, abroad too. They don’t teach purely by the book but their instructors teach selflessly and share a lot of personal knowledge and skills acquired from their vast experience and education. They take pride in their students' accomplishments and look after their growth, which I would say defines why they are the leading culinary school in the country. I was half hearted upon joining one of CCA’s programs because of my busy schedule. It was indeed an impromptu decision but I must say each and every class I have spent with them have been worth more than I expected. Couldn’t be any happier and proud to be part of this culinary family.”
