I was skeptical about the price at first, but the small class size made all the difference. You actually get personalized attention instead of watching someone demo techniques from the back of a crowded room. Worth every lev for someone starting out.
Training Programs That Match Your Ambitions
We've structured our courses around real learning paths—not arbitrary price brackets. Whether you're exploring advanced techniques for the first time or ready to master complex methodologies, there's a program that fits where you are right now.
How We Think About Investment
Honestly? Pricing culinary education is tricky. Too low and you wonder about quality. Too high and it feels exclusionary. We've tried to find the middle ground.
Our rates reflect the actual cost of running small-group sessions with experienced instructors, quality materials, and ongoing support. Nothing inflated, nothing hidden. Just transparent pricing that lets you make an informed decision about your education.
And look—if you're not sure which level fits your needs, reach out. We'd rather have a conversation than watch someone sign up for the wrong program.

What Actually Changes Between Levels
The Foundation Course teaches you the techniques. You'll learn proper methods, understand the science behind them, and build confidence with your hands.
Professional Track adds depth—more time with instructors, exposure to guest chefs who work in the field, and structured feedback on your progress. It's designed for people who want more than basic competency.
The Master Program? That's where we get specific about your goals. More mentorship, more complexity, more real-world application. It's not just about mastering techniques—it's about understanding how to apply them in different contexts.
The honest truth is that most students start with Professional Track. It offers the best balance of instruction time and practical application without overwhelming your schedule.
What Previous Students Say About Value
The guest chef sessions alone justified the Professional Track cost. Learning directly from people working in top kitchens gave me perspective I couldn't get from books or videos. Plus the one-on-one time helped me fix bad habits quickly.
The Master Program was a significant investment, but the mentorship component changed how I approach cooking entirely. Having someone guide your development over months rather than weeks makes a real difference in retention and confidence.
