THE CULINARY COLLECTIVE

Taste, smell and experience the best food, coffee and beverages when you train with us. It’s all part of our learning approach, and it doesn’t just happen in kitchens and classrooms either. Most courses will see you visiting the source of primary ingredients, whether it’s a farm, fishing trip, vineyard or brewery.

HOSPITALITY SPECIALS

Double up on our courses with one of our custom-made specials that’ll set you up as a manager in restaurants or hotels. There’s also one that will transform you into a bartender with barista skills. These programmes combine two courses and get you a great discount on your final course fees.

OUR GOAL

Our goal is to help you make a career out of something you really care about. We’ll do that by getting you excited about New Zealand’s unique food, beverage and service culture. Where ingredients come from, how they’re prepared today, how they’re used traditionally and most importantly how to deliver meals, drinks and service in a modern, memorable way. Along the way, you’ll see just how far high-quality Kiwi hospitality can take you.
