ECA Basics of Professional Cooking Practical Program

Culinary Training Programs

The Basics of Professional Cooking is a 100% hands-on practical program. The program is designed in such a way where students study at home the theoretical part, so as to dedicate the full course time to practical hands-on classes in the kitchen.

The Egyptian Chefs Association’s Basics of Professional Cooking hands-on practical course is a superb opportunity for all chefs and non-chefs to learn the science of cooking and food preparation in a systematic manner and in line with food safety requirements.

The program is a high-quality chef’s training program that meets the international standards of professional cookery and provides international recognition and certification. It enables chef trainees to meet professional challenges with a systematic approach to quality and quantity of food production, as practiced today in hotels, restaurants, institutional catering facilities and other food service operations.
