Custom Culinary Training

Custom Culinary Training

Your company is unique, from your employees to your customers to your financial goals. We get that. That's why CIA Consulting offers culinary training tailored to your specific needs.

Hands-on Culinary Training
By their nature, cooking, baking and pastry, and service are very intensive, very hands-on skills. Our more than 60 years experience in culinary education has proven that the best way to build these skills is with expert chefs and instructors at your side. That's why we recommend custom, in-person culinary training.

Do you want to capitalize on consumers' fascination with Asian and Latin American cuisines? Would you like to expand your menu with a tempting selection of house-made desserts? Are you ready to build a devoted customer base by delivering impeccable service every day? CIA Consulting, backed by the acclaimed faculty of The Culinary Institute of America, can prepare your team with the skills to do all of this and more—at our location or yours, worldwide. Contact us to find out how.

Culinary Video and New Media Training
The next best thing to having CIA chef-instructors in your operation is having them on demand—on the small screen, available to share their knowledge when it's most convenient for your staff. CIA Consulting can work with you to create custom training in a variety of media. From streaming videos of culinary techniques to a Webinar with our chefs, new media training from the CIA is the ideal vehicle for reinforcing skills learned at in-person trainings.

It's also a great way to advance the goals of your organization. When the National Food Service Management Institute at the University of Mississippi, Oxford needed authoritative culinary "talent" for its video training initiative Cooks for Kids: Healthy Eating Across America, they found that foodservice star power in CIA Consulting.
