Chefs Training & Innovation Academy

When CTIA opened the doors of its first campus in Centurion in 2009, it was built on a vision to provide an unparalleled experience based on exceptional training, cutting-edge innovation and a pledge to look after our students every step of the way – from mastering the basics to entering the industry.

It’s a promise we made, and a promise we’ve kept. Now, 15 years and three new campuses later, we’ve grown a lot – but we’ve never compromised on providing a warm, fun and nourishing environment and closely mentoring our students along their culinary journey. 

At CTIA, staff and students are both a family and a community, and that will never change.

We’re constantly thinking about your future.

The hospitality environment is constantly changing, and it’s our job to make sure that we bring all the latest developments back to our campuses and curricula to give our students everything they need to succeed.

Our courses provide students with a solid foundation and foster the confidence needed to innovate, create and embrace a career path filled with diverse opportunities: from working in catering companies, hotels, restaurants or cruise liners, to food photography, to launching a business of your own.

We know that enrolling in a culinary course can be a daunting prospect – and rightly so. After all, it’s your future we’re talking about. Which course is the best for me? What are the costs? 

How long will it take to land my dream job once I graduate? We know better than anyone how many decisions our students have to make, and we’re here to answer all your questions to set you on the path to the culinary career of your dreams.
