School Description
The Connecticut Culinary Institute offers two professional program options. The maximum number of students in any CCI class is 12, so each student has ample opportunity for hands-on practice, and for individual evaluation and assistance by a skilled Chef/Instructor. While a passion for cooking is an important first ingredient to getting started on the path to a successful career as a chef or pastry chef, effective professional training is essential. Programs offered at CCI provide that vital foundation:
The Advanced Culinary Arts Program is a 60 week comprehensive diploma course of culinary study (90 weeks if taken part-time ), with a paid externship component. Small class size, (12 or fewer students in each class), and lots of kitchen time enable students to achieve all of the skills and competencies sought by culinary employers in a comparatively short time. We call it Accelerated Training for the Whole Chef:
The Pastry and Baking Program is designed to train students in the skills and techniques specific to a position in a professional bakery or pastry kitchen. Over the course of 10 weeks of training, (also available as a 17 week part-time evening program), students learn and practice the fundamentals of baking, including yeast-risen products, quick breads, laminated doughs, sweet doughs, and the best elements of French, Danish, Viennese and modern American pastries. This program covers all areas of fine quality dessert, bread and decorating techniques.
