Success Stories
"I just graduated from the Online Food Entrepreneur Masterclass. I learned how to do proper costing for my products with my mentor, Chef Jasper. CCA admin and Librarian are very approachable, friendly and accommodating as well. Good Job CCA 👍."
"CCA Manila has always been my dream school. I am overwhelmed with the opportunity to join their Online Food Entrepreneurship Masterclass. It helped me develop my knowledge more in the food business. Kudos to Chef Jasper Versoza for always being instructive to us in many ways. He even shared his experiences in the Culinary world. I’ve learned a lot! I am a successful young entrepreneur of Chef Ylyt Creations for 10 years of mouth-watering products in service here in South. I have picturesque plans for my culinary dreams. I’ve always wanted to enrich my understanding with professionals at the food community at-large. I always envision myself to improve my skills. I was a finalist for MasterChefAsia way back 2015. I got to experience cooking in front of Singaporean producers like in an actual MasterChef show. I even told myself that I will be back in here someday. I haven’t expected that I will be able to go back and successfully graduate from my dream school. It’s worth my time and money! Looking forward to trying other courses offered! I know this is the right path for young-chefs in the making. Thank you my CCA Manila family for this opportunity that even at home we can still learn more."
It’s really such a wonderful and fulfilling experience enrolling myself in my dream culinary school CCA, Manila. In the Food Entrepreneurship Masterclass, Chef Princess doesn't just teach us the business side of Food but also shares her life lessons. Chef Princess our instructor is not just an instructor but also a mentor to us that keeps on inspiring and guiding us even after session. Kudos to Chef Princess and CCA Manila. Looking forward to enrolling again in CCA Manila on their other courses. Hopefully by that time it’s already Face to Face so I could experience the atmosphere, wearing a chef's jacket bearing CCA Logo and and definitely the sense of pride entering a prestigious school. CCA Manila. More Power And God Bless.
"I had a great time learning from the Food Entrepreneurship Masterclass in CCA. I learned a lot from our mentor, Chef Princess San Diego. The knowledge she imparted to us will be a great help for our future endeavours. I'm also grateful to CCA library for the generosity of sharing their e-books. God Bless CCA!"
"I definitely made the right decision when I enrolled in CCA Manila's Food Entrepreneurship Masterclass. I learned so many things that I was able to use in my small pastry business. Everybody was so accommodating — answering all my questions even at the wee hours of the night. I'm also very grateful to the CCA Library for providing me all the e-books I need for pursuing further studies in the culinary/pastry world!"
