Key features of the program are:
- The program is delivered through 36-39 intensive classes, 3 times a week in the (twice in the evening (Sundays and Tuesdays) and once on the weekend (Saturdays)).
- The condensed program is derived from the professional program and covers many of the same cooking techniques as covered in the full-time professional kitchen program.
- Students pursuing this program are expected to practice whatever they learn in class at home to attain the same level of hands-on experience as the full-time professional program students.
