We shape our students using transformational learning experiences
If you don't change, you can’t evolve, and that's what precisely education should be: teaching people to evolve.
As a culinary institute we prepare our students to acquire the skills and competences to be able to question, think outside the box, push the boundaries to seek and find new possibilities.
We teach how to set, pursue and reach goals, to dare to make mistakes. Because only those who are willing to make mistakes, are capable of doing truly wonderful things.
That is why we created the CIB, the cooking school where we can make things happen
You have three options: witness, adapt or lead the change.
#CookingTomorrow
People like you who
have transformed their lives.
It's not what it is,

We were founded on an international outlook and the idea of nurturing a new generation of chefs and entrepreneurs to build their careers based on a principle of respect for the products and people. A generation capable of confidently leading their own future and being key players in the changes that the 21st century will bring.
We are committed to teaching that transforms people through our unique methodology. In our professional cooking courses, we use creativity to solve problems, we apply innovation as a driving force in the market, and we are permanently looking ahead to the future in order to move in the right direction.
