commonly called " professional secrecy".
It denies the tools for success.
Driven by the many requests, AICI decided to create a Cooking School in Italy for foreigners. It is not easy to find the resources to stay at least a year in Italy to learn Italian culinary art. For this reason, AICI has studied some special professional Masters suitable both for beginners and for those already working in a kitchen.
Each Master is dedicated to people who are passionate about Italian cuisine but who are not satisfied with a simple cooking class lesson and want something more, in a few time: to really learn to cook the Italian way.
Each master is dedicated to a key topic of Italian cuisine: pasta, pizza, pastry and so on. The scientific committee has studied how to transfer the crucial data of each topic giving the student Knowledge, Skills and Competence. A perfect mix of theory and practice.
Considering that 98% of jobs in the culinary industry, worldwide, are offered by private entrepreneurs, it is easy to understand how they ground their choice of personnel mainly on the real capacity of the worker.
That’s why each Format is created by the Institute with the dual objective to create "practical skills" and be truly of "100% Italian Quality".
Knowledge, Skill and Competence are essential elements in order to obtain a qualification in Professional Operator in Italian Cooking.
Until today, AICI has reserved two of the 5 headquarters for the Cooking Courses in Italy for Foreign Students: the Bologna Academy and the Florence Academy. Two cities famous in the world for their context of art and taste, where the students, in addition to studying, can enjoy the wonders that these cities offer.
Currently you can do the special "Master of Italian Pasta" format in one of these two cities.
Soon the training offer will be enriched by the other Masters and also in other cities. Stay tuned!
