In the restaurant business, a top chef is more than someone who cooks an excellent meal. He is a real business man, a coach of his staff and someone who strategically plans the operations of his restaurant.
Les Roches International School of Hotel Management, one of the leading hospitality management schools in the world, answers to the need of the industry. Les Roches is pleased to announce a new management program in its wide range of curriculum: the postgraduate diploma in business administration for culinary arts professionals. Starting in August 2011 on the Les Roches campus in Bluche, Switzerland, this one year program will prepare culinary arts professionals to be a successful leader.
The postgraduate diploma in business administration is a specialized business degree for culinary arts professionals who are looking to improve their general management and leadership skills. The one-year postgraduate curriculum builds upon the existing skills of culinary and food service professionals to prepare them for the responsibilities of general business administration. Designed for mature students, this program will allow them to advance their career in the foodservice industry or to open their own successful business. The program is tailor-made for the culinary arts professionals who want to become a leader in the foodservice industry or to open their own successful foodservice-related business and is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
‘The program will take two semesters’, says Jeremy Hutchinson, the Director of Academic Affairs of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management. ‘In one year, culinary art professionals studying at Les Roches will be provided with the knowledge and skills he needs to reach the next level. This program is the perfect study for professionals who for example want to open their own business or want to become a manager of food & beverage outlets in a major hotel. Les Roches has over 35 years of expertise in hospitality management and holds strong relationships with the hospitality industry.’
‘The culinary world is fast evolving’, says Anton Wuersch, who has almost 20 years of international and corporate management experience in food & beverage and operation with Hyatt, Hilton, Sheraton and InterContinental. ‘It is not longer enough to understand cooking and creating stunning recipes or outstanding tasting food. Today a chef who wants to be recognized as a culinary leader needs to learn how to meet customer expectations, how to plan and manage a budget and how to lead teams in this industry.’
The program is open for culinary art professionals, who have obtained a higher diploma in culinary arts, are minimum 24 years old and have at least three years of proven culinary experience.
