JOIN US FOR OUR MAY OPEN DAY! 

Join us on Thursday, 30th May 2024, where our amazing Auckland Central, Sylvia Park and Hamilton Campuses will be open from 10am to 1pm for you to discover what culinary delights await you with The Culinary Collective. 

Check out our cafes and commercial kitchens on campus, learn about our courses and what opportunities are available to you with our help. Speak with students and tutors alike, and discover how The Culinary Collective can get your career cooking! 

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.

WHILE YOU LEARN

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.
