Connecticut Culinary Institute (CCI) is a school where the curriculum is designed to ensure that students have achieved a comprehensive skill set and learned from hands-on experience. The classes are small (no more than 15 students), there is a great deal of personal attention, and students are even given thorough training for the hospitality sector.

Curriculum Prepared for the Real World

Students learn all of the necessary competencies for employment in this exciting field at CCI, including the fine arts of sautéing, grilling, baking, pastries, garde manger, garnishing, menu planning, sanitation, business, safety, and kitchen etiquette. Our graduates may obtain initial employment as chef de partie, saucier, chef garde manger, poissonnier, assistant pastry chef, assistant meat cutter, line cook, or, in some cases, as sous-chef. With a CCI diploma in hand, and a little “seasoning” in the field, most graduates move up the ladder quickly after securing their initial position.
