So you’d like to go to be a part of the food service industry? Quality culinary studies is key to a successful career, as this will allow you to acquire a wide range of culinary knowledge that will give you an edge as a culinary professional or as an entrepreneur. To respond to the growing need for competent chefs and cooks overseas, different schools offer many culinary courses. Culinary Institute of Aristocrat (CIA) , a culinary school in Manila, stands out among other culinary schools in terms of their curriculum, faculty, facilities, contact hours, and course fees.

A good culinary school must focus on equipping students with the skills that will allow him or her to fulfill the strict requirements of the profession. CIA’s curriculum has a systematic progression of topics, meaning basic skills are learned before more complex ones.

Students learn all these skills in modern, state-of-the-art kitchens, a theater-type multimedia room, and a learning resource center for research on culinary arts and management.


Chef Gabby Prats

CIA’s core faculty is made up of distinguished chefs and hospitality practitioners who have no less than six years of professional experience in the managerial level. The teams are composed of hot kitchen chefs, cold kitchen chefs, pastry chefs, wine sommeliers, master mixologists, and hotel experts who have been trained both here and abroad.

CIA’s curriculum offer a sufficient number of contact hours that the student will need to excel in his or her chosen field. Although other culinary schools might offer the same number of hours, they can be very expensive.

CIA’s tuition fees are more affordable than others. Their Fundamentals of Professional Cooking course costs Php 29,995 and has 96 course hours (Php 312.45/hour).
