I obtained more skills, knowledge, and experience than I ever imagined possible from the Diploma in Culinary Arts at the Imperium International College. It is not only provided me with the knowledge required to understand how to create a food product, but also the skills to evaluate the supporting factor in creating a food product due to practical class and theory class in the field.
It also provided me with the opportunity to go to a world-standard competition. Due to this experience, I was able to create a product in a proper kitchen and learn dozens of valuable skills to assist me to become a better chef. The course staff and lecturer supported and guided me in creating a successful and fulfilling experience on the course.
Moreover, I learned an immense amount of knowledge and life experience from my lecture and my classmate; I will forever be thankful for their presence.”
