The Capsicum Culinary Studio and The Private Hotel School will be hosting food festival themed Open Days.

South Africa’s largest chef school, Capsicum Culinary Studio, and the country’s foremost hospitality educator, The Private Hotel School, will be hosting Open Days at all their campuses countrywide on Saturday, May 25.

It’s an opportunity for people to change the course of their life as hospitality is one of the fastest growing employment industries providing career opportunities globally, as well as in South Africa. Both schools also provide the opportunity for prospective students to gain international experience with a paid internship for 12 months after studying.

The good news for those who sign-up on the day is that they are eligible to receive an instant 10% discount on their course fees.

Those who attend the open day can interact with the schools’ talented chef lecturers, who are leaders in the culinary field, as well as chat to expert advisors who will assist in making their hospitality dreams come true.

Capsicum Culinary Studio is the largest chef school of its kind in South Africa with six campuses throughout the country and graduates who work around the world. Capsicum has branches in Boksburg, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria which collectively maintain a 95% pass rate. It also has more local and international accreditations and associations than most chef training institutes in South Africa.

Qualifications on offer include the one-year professional cookery programme, the hugely popular one-year patisserie programme, three-year chef programme and various masterclasses.

A Capsicum student also receives added training as part of their studies in the following:

Entrepreneurship skills: Students are given the opportunity through the Capsicum food truck to sell their dishes and earn from the profit. This also teaches lessons in the food costing and sustainability.
Mobile food photography workshop: To improve students’ skills and help build their social media profiles as chefs.
Industry introduction and networking skills: Teach students how to promote their careers as a chef.

In the 15 years since it was first established, Capsicum Culinary Studio has produced more than 5 000 alumni who are now working all over the world and who have established themselves as leaders within various markets.
