MISSION

At École Ducasse, our mission is to train the next generation of entrepreneurs, managers and citizen chefs and transmit French gastronomic excellence to students at all levels of experience and know-how.

At the core of this mission is to open our training to as wide a global audience as possible; so today we offer a selection of programs taught directly in English that is uniquely large among French culinary schools.

In all our teaching, we endeavor to convey the culinary savoir-faire and expertise of our founder, the legendary Chef Alain Ducasse. Both chef and entrepreneur, Alain Ducasse is above all a pioneer in recognizing the value of living and eating well, in a meaningful and sustainable way. His philosophy brings together tradition, modernity and respect for the product, to deliver true authenticity.

Inside this brochure we profile our English language programs, from which you can find suitable study opportunities whether you are a high school graduate, career changer, enthusiast, expert or entrepreneur.

“I have always endeavored to pass on my vision of culinary and pastry arts. I share my know-how with all young people craving for learning, career-changers and professionals willing to strengthen their skills, with a single motto in mind: excellence in practice.” ALAIN DUCASSE

ABOUT

Since we were founded in 1999, École Ducasse has developed into a world reference for culinary and pastry arts education, with our two main campuses in France now accompanied by a growing international network of schools that already encompasses India, The Philippines, Thailand and United Arab Emirates.

At the heart of every École Ducasse program you will find the same core philosophy:

EXCELLENCE IN PRACTICE As an École Ducasse student, you will spend anywhere between 70% and 90% of your time in practical classes that make full use of our state-of-the-art kitchen laboratories. We also offer unrivaled opportunities to learn in the real world, leveraging the École Ducasse network and beyond to offer internships in world-class restaurant environments.

ONE-TO-ONE ATTENTION All our programs have tightly capped class sizes, enabling students to receive high levels of personalized support and guidance from our expert chef instructors.

MASTER MORE THAN COOKING We aim to create citizen chefs who can thrive inside and outside the kitchen; so our programs also encompass business fundamentals, leadership skills, and other behavioral attributes that you will need to succeed in your career.
