Programs

PSCA’s main objective is to provide its students with a solid foundation of academic knowledge, practical skills and work ethics to become successful in their chosen culinary fields. That is why classes are deliberately kept small to ensure that each student gets adequate personal attention from the chef instructor. Classroom learning is validated by intensive hands-on training in the kitchen and eventually by on-the-job training in actual work environments in 5-star hotels and specialty restaurants. PSCA also assists its students in securing placements in internship programs abroad.

PSCA also offers customized training programs or short courses to culinary hobbyists or those who wish to improve their culinary skills in specific areas.

The unique features of the practical cooking classes at PSCA are as follows:

1. The cooking exercises are done individually and conducted daily. Each student works on his/her own work station with a set of cook wares and ingredients.

2. All dishes prepared in class are tasted/consumed by the student with discussions and evaluation.

3. There are 3 types of examinations after each module; a written exam, an oral exam and the practical cooking exam. During the practical cooking exam, the dishes prepared by the students are presented to evaluators. Guests and parents may be invited to partake and evaluate the dishes prepared and presented in a fine dining setting.
