Fast-Track your Training with our Summer Program
Our Summer Diploma program is perfect for fast-tracking your cookery training or kick-starting a second career.
Running June to September, our Summer program teaches the basics of classical cookery, pastry and theory in five hands-on daytime classes per week. Our unique method-based program model, small class sizes and collaborative instructors will give you the foundation you need to succeed.
The program offers the same curriculum as Level 1– the first half of our 32-week Professional Diploma program, but delivered on a modified Summer schedule.
Hands-on cooking classes are complemented by theoretical course components for a complete culinary curriculum. Theory curriculum focuses on expanding student knowledge in subjects related to the culinary and hospitality fields including: service, communications, writing, food costing, food history, nutrition, gastronomy, wine, sanitation, and kitchen management.
Three Advantages of the Summer Program:
1. Classes are 9 am to 5pm Monday-Friday, allowing students the option to work on weekends or evenings if needed.
2. A June start allows the opportunity to “fast-track” completion of the full 32 week SCS curriculum in less than one year (June through early March), instead of the usual two years.
3. Summer Tuition fees are now the same as for Level 1 October intake.
