"We had an awesome time in ICCA, bringing students and colleagues together to cook great food!"
Kevin Hult International Business School
"The class was great and informative, the Chefs were really good. It's good that the chefs are coming straight from Italy because you really get to know how to make an authentic Italian Pizza."
Abu Rashan Artisan Pizza Enthusiast
"I just love eating pizza, I was always curious on how to make a real good one. When I took the course in ICCA, I didn’t expect how hand-on the chefs and classes were. It was all well organized and really worth it. Now I can make my own real Pizza."
Sherif Artisan Pizza Enthusiast
"I took the Artisan Chocolate making course because I wanted to learn all about chocolate making; and ICCA did a great job in teaching me all that I actually wanted."
Denise Hannah Fernandez Artisan Chocolate Enthusiast
"Ever since I can remember, I had a special place for all things sweet and baked! I decided to pursue my passion which led me to enroll part-time at ICCA for the Amateur Patisserie Program and I got to learn a lot more than what I had expected."
