This experience was totally unique and probably one of the best ever of my life. I discovered so many new things: I learnt how to find out about others, their cultures and their cooking; I learnt to work with renowned chefs and practitioners whilst living for 4 months in a new country. It all has an amazing impact on your personal development.
Franco Villegas - Peru, 2017 Alliance Programme

I’ll be able to apply the different techniques I’ve learned and the methods I’ve absorbed from the different nationalities represented by the students. I’ve actually learned six different ways to make omelets. It seems simple enough, but there’s an Indonesian version and a Korean version…it was all really interesting.
Chris Bisson - Canada, 2018 Alliance Programme

When the F&B manager went on vacation, I had to take over all of his duties for several weeks. I loved that period during which I was able to assert myself and feel really useful.

On the Institute’s campus you can enjoy meeting your friends for a coffee or a game of billiards, or you can practice sports such as tennis or yoga, where your curiosity and creativity will be constantly stimulated. Each year, the Students’ Union is elected to organise events that give us the opportunity to get together, which is important because at the Institute we enjoy life, having fun, eating good food and above all meeting people. The Institute is also a place that is constantly evolving and where you can develop your own initiative.
