When schools’ problems become their growth opportunities
Across the globe, culinary schools face a common challenge: delivering world-class training that meets industry standards while staying financially sustainable. Even top schools struggle, especially those just starting out. How do you deliver when facing limited teaching capacity, outdated curricula, and inflexible schedules that require students to always be on-campus?
This gap leaves aspiring professionals wanting more and schools without the growth they deserve. For students, it means choosing between programs with rigid schedules and high fees, or cheaper online options that lack essential hands-on experience. Which raises the question: can these challenges become growth opportunities? The answer: yes.
How we simplify “the problem”

• Swiss course design: In-depth curriculum from Swiss culinary schools, with internationally recognized content, and student placement in internships.
• Modern learning experiences: No need to invest in a digital learning solution, we provide the entire digital experience for students on our gamified learning platform.
• Flexible approach: Our blended learning approach gives students maximum flexibility based on their experience, and ensures they learn efficiently while their teachers focus on high-value, hands-on instruction.
• Trainer education: We provide a framework to transform top chefs into teachers for your school. With guidance from our Swiss learning experts, chefs gain pedagogical skills to lead structured, impactful classroom sessions.

Meet our new school partners: HEAT and Cimbru
This year, we announced two new franchise schools in Romania: HEAT – Hospitality Excellence Academy Transylvania and Cimbru Culinary School.
• HEAT was born from a vision to elevate hospitality education in Romania with Swiss-quality standards and help advance the region’s culinary education on offer with a modern learning approach. Their focus? Delivering Swiss-quality culinary courses to aspiring and experienced chefs, with a robust network of Global Swiss Learning Certified Culinary Trainers on hand.
• Cimbru on the other hand, is redefining boutique culinary education, and places a strong emphasis on creativity, growth, experimentation and sustainability. They cater to all current and future chefs who want to master both technique and innovation.
Both schools share a commitment to blending Swiss excellence with Romanian skill—but each brings its own unique flavor to the market.
