Testimonials
“I am truly happy and grateful for attending the Professional Culinary Academy. Not only has it provided me with the proper knowledge, skills and certifications that I was seeking to obtain. But I also gained the self confidence in my cooking and in starting my own catering business. My teachers became my mentors guiding me through difficult times, providing me with great advice and sharing their wisdom. I love the small class settings which enabled me to have a lot of one on one attention. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Overall, being a student at this school was a great experience. I created life long memories and relationships that I will never forget.”
“The program has given me a great work ethic and a lot of skills that I’ve been able to use working in a professional restaurant kitchen. I’m really grateful for my chef instructors’ guidance and all of the instruction I got while studying here. I have been working at Combina in Soho for the past five months—I actually helped them open the restaurant. They serve Spanish-Israeli tapas, and I love my job there.”
“I had a great time working with the instructors here at the Professional Culinary Academy. I learned everything I know from Chef George. I now work at American Cut with Chef Marc Forgione.”
“The culinary program put me on my feet and set me in the right direction. I’m now working as a line cook at two restaurants at Jean Georges’ Perry St. and Spice Market.”
