I joined a 2-hour Italian masterclass, and it was a wonderful experience. The class covered how to make burrata and rosetti, along with sea bass and tiramisu for dessert. It was led by an Italian chef with experience in Michelin-star restaurants, which made the session even more special. The chef taught with real passion and was very generous in sharing his knowledge. I enjoyed the time and learned a lot. Overall, it was a very well-organized and enjoyable experience by the school. I recommend it.

I recently completed a 3-month diploma program at SCAFA Dubai, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The training exceeded my expectations in every way. The chefs were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, always willing to share their expertise and insights. The entire team was supportive, creating a welcoming and professional environment that made learning both enjoyable and impactful. A special mention to the admissions team, who were incredibly helpful from the very beginning. They guided me through the enrollment process smoothly, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I felt confident about my decision to join SCAFA. The hands-on approach to culinary arts training was excellent, and the program was well-structured to cover all the essential techniques and skills needed for a strong foundation in the industry. I’m proud of the diploma I earned and grateful for the exceptional guidance I received throughout the course. If you’re considering a culinary program in Dubai, SCAFA is absolutely the place to be. Highly recommended!
