The 7-month U.S. Certified Culinarian Program  is a perfect program for those who have the passion to learn culinary arts the professional way, but do not have the luxury of  time to enroll in a full-time program that requires 4-5 days a week of classes during the day.  This class holds double sessions every Saturday, from 8-4PM.

This program follows the world-class American Culinary Federation Education Foundation accredited  culinary training of AHA Philippines, and the TESDA  NC II Cookery.

The uniqueness of the program lies in its approach to culinary training that gives  weight to the internship hours  that students will render in the industry.  The cooking techniques, methods and world cuisines that students will learn in the AHA classroom and kitchen laboratory will be reinforced in the actual culinary training in restaurants and hotels.  Thus, 300 hours of internship training is the minimum requirement, which students can start working with after finishing every module of classroom/kitchen laboratory at AHA.  Students have an option to do internship in the U.S., Malaysia, and Australia.  They are also qualified to the step-up program of AHA with the Florence University of the Arts in Italy, either for the 4-week Italian Cookery and Restaurant Training or the Master in Culinary Arts (please refer to the Joint Program page).

This program is perfect for the following:

1.  those who have  regular day job during the week and can only attend culinary classes every Saturday and do internship after office hours;
2. professionally employed in the kitchen but want to earn a certificate or diploma; and
3. hobbyists, culinary enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs.

The program is divided into 6 modules, and students may even  have the option to do one module at a time depending on time availability and budgetary constraints.
