I received an excellent education and Chef Sixto Alonso deserves five stars for his excellent teaching and help!

Great school and programs, teachers are hands on. Easy to find a job after graduate. L'ecole restaurant provides physical learning experience in the kitchen. highly recommend.

ICC has the finest culinary faculty in the world. As a student, you learn from living legends like Jacques Pepin, Andre Soltner, and Jacques Torres. No matter how good a cook you are at the outset, from the day you start to the day you graduate, you learn and evolve more than you could imagine. Plus, the job placement resources reach far and wide. Your return on investment in an ICC education is tremendous.

I've trained an ICC grad couple of years ago and he said he's never used his serrated knife. He said there were too many kids in the class and was difficult to learn anything. The school's tuition has gone through the roof and I don't feel like it's worth sending kids through it anymore. It just doesn't pay off at the end. They're better off getting an academic degree and just being a stagier and learning for free.

Amazing and excellent. Priceless experience

When I attended FCI (now known as ICC) back in February of '1989, one of the main reasons was because Jacque Pepin was coming on board in the spring. I checked out every other school in the area, including CIA but why would I leave NYC where every talented chef is located on one island. I had already attended college and felt I didn't need another two year school. Their six month program was perfect. You really get your necessary skills out in the culinary world after you graduate. I felt like FCI gave me the basics and it was up to me to hone those basic skills. Over the years, I have reached out to ICC for alumni trips, classes as well as helping me promote my own restaurant. I even was able to inspire an employee too attend ICC 25 years after I graduated. Attending ICC was one of those life changing experiences that has lead me down a wonderful culinary path. I currently am hosting a food show for SDPB called Savor Dakota and everything in my culinary life has lead me to this point. Dorothy Cann Hamilton had a wonderful vision and constantly challenged everyone around her. She has left a wonderful legacy.

The faculty is grand! The passion and teamwork they possess makes that a great place to learn.

Wonderful experience in the Icc school, chefs are hard on you but they push you to the mentality which will bring success in a kitchen !
