Whether you’re interested in a career as a professional chef, want to launch your own culinary business or want to explore the rewarding field of chef training, CTIA has the right course for you. We offer industry-relevant skills that will help you get into the workplace faster and sustain your career longer; whatever challenges you may encounter. Starting your career with a strong foundation will stand you in good stead as you enter and progress in this industry. Being a trained chef opens doors to a culinary path filled with diverse opportunities; from food styling and food writing, to working in catering companies, hotels, restaurants or cruise liners – or launching your own business. The possibilities are endless. CTIA is leading the way for culinary entrepreneurs. The culinary landscape is uniquely rich in entrepreneurial opportunities. At CTIA, we realised that once our innovative young chefs had mastered the building blocks, they were looking for some culinary dynamite to match their entrepreneurial appetite, and meet the complex demands, developments and dynamics of the industry. This vision gave birth to our Innovation in Culinary Arts Programme and Innovation in Pastry Programme. Exclusively offered by CTIA, these courses fill a conspicuous gap in the local culinary education landscape, and give our students a unique advantage. We continually refine and adapt the substance of these courses to ensure that our students stay ahead of the curve. CTIA is turning 10! CTIA will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2019. Our experience in the industry translates into unique advantages for our students, and we are proud of our staff who work hard to make a reality of our main goal, namely the success of our students in industry. CTIA alumni can be found working in top kitchens across South Africa – and all over the world.
