@netnet You might want to consider AHA Philippines as you look for a culinary school. They will not only teach you the fundamentals of cookery but also the much needed discipline to become a good chef.

maganda ba talaga sa AHA? I’m an HRM graduate and i’m planning to take culinary. Nakita ko sa website nila na puwede ka na magkaroon ng diploma sa loob lang ng 6 mos. I want to go overseas ASAP so gusto ko ung mabilis lang na culinary.

Guys if u want to become a chef…either u study in a popular school or u work for someone famous…Diploma is an advantage however experience is a big edge to work abroad…I recently completed my course in Diploma in Culinary Arts at AHA Phils. I would agree that they are very strict with regards to training. Thus, the students are very disciplined, especially with regards to punctuality. However, they also have their flosses….well no one is perfect on that matter. My advice….think several times when choosing the best Culinary School for you…don’t fall on their sweet talks…weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each school…

TOP 5 CA SCHOOLS? ACCORDING TO WHOM? AND SINCE WHEN DID ENDERUN(a newly established institution,which means they only have had few graduates and their system is still undergoing adjustments) BECOME TOP 1?? please learn how to substantiate your informations, not only are you degrading institutions who have proved so much already in the CA field(e.g. International School of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.
to the readers of this blog: do not be confused, I suggest you go to the websites of the culinary institutions and see for yourself the achievements. If you have queries regarding culinary arts schools, pm me, for an unbiased evaluation of the institutions. thank you!

I am a Diploma student at First Gourmet academy in Quezon City. I have only good things to say about this school. I have a couple of more months to go before my OJT but the last six months of my life has been fantastic. This school has in a very short time managed to be recognozed abroad as wel,l thanks to their international faculty. They have after only two years alraedy alumni on cruisships, America, Europe and Australia. if you are a good student here the Director of the school will make sure to take care of you and recommend you abroad.

Hello. I am a (waiting) student at AHA. ANg unprofessional nila. I called them from overseas asking when ang start date, sabi nila April 4. I asked my mom to call them again and again, sabi nila April 4 daw. I bought to ticket to come home, tas pagdating ko dito eh April 25 na daw to give way to holy week kasi ang dami daw nagrerequest. Sabi ko, fine sige, kasi andito na din naman ako, so nagbayad ako. Dapat next week na magstart ang class – but no, minove nila just yesterday, one week before, to May 2. Parang ano to, in favor of the late comers? or wala kayong fixed sched? Isang buwan nakong naghihintay to start. Gusto ko na nga bawiin money ko e.
Trish

A.H.A? TOP 5? Are you serious? They don’t deserve to be in the list of top culinary schools. This is the most uncaring, unprofessional, selfish and hypocrite school ever who don’t give a hell about they’re students! Don’t give false information please.
When you get in there they’ll do all the charming sweet talk, internship in States bullcrap, they offer the best culinary education and whatsoever false crap. And of course, in the end you will be all “Oh this a good school! They look like nice people and provide good education” God, I’ve been there and got fooled as well. If you get in and have problems about serious stuff they won’t even attend to your needs. But if it comes to money matters.. expect the worst
PLEASE it’s not worth your time and MONEY. DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE ENROLLING HERE. All they can give you is empty promises and humiliation.
If your wise enough,let me repeat.. please do ever enroll here.

galing ako sa open house ng AHA magaganda ang facilities nila at concern ko din yung mga courses na offered lalo na yung bago yung International Culinary Management. Sa tingin ko kung gusto mo mag work abroad dito ka mag enrol para may advantage at mas malaki ang opportunity. since, gagastos na lang din ng malaki sa tuition sa sigurado na, dahil sa certification ng American Culinary Federation.
kahit saan naman madaming pangit ang ugali… kung ako mag enrol sa AHA at nakakita ako ng pangit na ugali ng mga tao iisipin ko na lang na training yun kasi pag nag work ka na makaka encounter ka naman ng pangit na ugali ng magiging kasamahan mo

One good culinary school i know is the American Hospitality Academy Philippines. What differentiates this school from other culinary schools is that more than teaching the fundamentals it also trains the students to be disciplined which is necessary to succeed in the kitchen workplace.

lahat ng school may mga hindi magandang ugali. we have to accept that pero para sa akin, dapat yung reasonable. may naririnig kasi akong MADAMING negative comments sa isang culinary school sa makati. and as an educator myself, hindi katanggap tanggap ang ganyang ugali.

parang yung Global yung kay chef rob ay deceiving in terms of duration. yes, it was stated in their website na 12 months YUNG COURSE pero yung duration per day ay saglit lang. ang edge nga lang nun ay may diploma ka. at mukhang “mas mura” compared to other schools who offer diploma programs. kung tutuusin, di sulit yung budget kasi short duration nga di ba.

i also heard na sa treston, umaalis na yung mga students. sobra kasi naman mahal ng tuition nila. tapos puro basic naman tinuturo. kakaunti pa exposure mo ssa kichen. yung kaibigan ko, nagtransfer na sa ibang culinary school.

if not because of rob pengson,hindi naman sisikat ang global. pero talking about skills, im telling you guys, bagsak! hindi worth it ang pagbabayad ng tuition sa ganitong kababang school standards.

kung balak nyo magtreston eh wag nyo na subukan. i am student there at naghahanap na ko ng ibang school. ang wala kwenta kaya! sayang lang ang pagbabayad ng NAPAKAMAHAL na tuition kung wala naman kwenta ikinapupuntahan ng pera mo.

well, i dont recommend Enderun – its because of their tuition fees sobrang mahal. parang hindi worth it.
kiko
On January 2, 2012 at 7:44 pm
okay sana CCA pero you know, overpriced naman. tsaka i have friends na graduate dun pero di rin kagandahan ang narating. eh i thought pag cca, super galing talaga, hindi rin pala.
lester
On January 2, 2012 at 8:12 pm
sa global naman sumikat lang dahil sa skita nilang chef instructor eh pero kung tutuusin wala naman yung school na yun.

iv read some comments here, im surprise that there are many good feedbacks abwt Global Academy, narinig ko kasi na basic lang daw masyado ang tinuturo nla…i hope someone can give me more info regarding sa teaching nla..kasi di ba, sayang naman oras kung ganun lang.

sa AHA ako nag enrol and I guess I made the right choice talaga.. Ang ganda sa AHA hindi tipid sa ingredients . Alam mo, ung choice ko pa naman mag enrol sa CCA or ISCHAM kaya lang na discourage ako dun.

going to an expensive school (endurun, ischam) is a waste of time and money
raymond
On January 4, 2012 at 2:00 am
may nabasa ako sa isang blog na about ischam ang sabi daw ng isham sa students nila—–“ill just educate you, and you can carry our name and reputation but dont expect us to guide you and support you through your job huntings and applications”
para sa akin, oo nga success is in our hands pero di ba, if the school has affiliations and they can help the students, why not help di ba? and schools nga are here to guide us.

TOP 5 CA SCHOOLS? ACCORDING TO WHOM? AND SINCE WHEN DID ENDERUN BECOME TOP 1?? please learn how to substantiate your informations, not only are you degrading institutions who have proved so much already in the CA field.

On January 15, 2012 at 9:21 am
i know people who graduated from global,and treston. super mahal ng tuition pero they even cant find a job kahit dito sa pilipinas.see?

I visited AHA twice….. ok naman especially knowing yung kanilang \”international\” presence and to think nawell known brand talaga sa US plus may maganda silang int\’l placement program……
My only problem kaya ako di nagtuloy……….. sobrang liit nung place nila ngayon noon, laking sisi ko nung nalaman ko na nagexpand pala sila!!!urgh!!!
Hope this helps.
Im currently enrolled in MIHCA right now. which is, well..haha..no comment.

global is like a scam. parang mas matututo ka pa sa ordinary restaurant. I’ve been there i was disapointed with there curriculum it teaches you the basic only.ang graduate nila, hindi qualified to become chef.
gabriel
On January 15, 2012 at 9:33 am
@ihateglobal—hehe..i rememmbered my friend na nag-aaral sa global..sabi nya sakin, kung gano daw kadami pposter nila, ganun naman kaunti matututunan mo.

my sister told me na yung mga ojt from global mga nakatunganga nalang sa kitchen pag madami na orders. para bang natataranta na kung ano.

On January 15, 2012 at 7:25 pm
hi guys. ang haba na ng thread dito. pero it helped me alot ha. im an accounting associate at BPI pero gusto ko magaral ng culinary so i inquired sa CCA kaso ano ba yan. OVERPRICED naman masyado. then i tried sa global, mura nga kaso parang talo ka naman sa oras. so wala din.

melvin
On January 15, 2012 at 10:33 pm
for me, ang dapat tinitingnan ng mga gustong magculinary is yung kung ano matututunan mo hindi yung dahil lang sa sikat yung school kasi nakikita sa TV araw araw. di ba? parang sa cca at global. dami ko nababasa na blog tungkol sa kanila. gusto lang magenrol dun kasi gwapo si ganito, nakikita sa tv si ganyan.LAME

I’m a registered nurse but my heart still belongs to culinary. AHA has caught my attention here dahil sa mga comments.lol. So anyone here has finally made a decision? I’m planning to take culinary too this year, tara guys sabay sabay na tayo maginquire pra classmates tayo.
edric

is it true na in ischam, more of fad marketing lang?hindi naman daw sulit yung tuition kasi di gaano nakakagamit ng facilities tapos more of lecture lang?
carina
On January 29, 2012 at 8:34 pm
naginquire ako in cca since yun yung pinkasikat na culinry dito sa manila. pero naturn off ako. tama kayo. ang yabang lang nila.it’s as if you dont belong.
