Training Facilities
The Institute invests heavily in training facilities to ensure that students have access to the most up-to-date equipment. This provides a practical edge to their training experience, ensuring they're work-ready upon graduation.
The Angliss Culinary Academy's 2006 building works include two new kitchens with up-to-the-minute fittings and appliances, a coffee training room and a new demonstration room.
This state-of-the-art unit training kitchen accommodates 24 students and features stainless steel equipment and appliances including Goldstein commercial ovens. The kitchen boasts a demonstration area with ceiling mirrors so students can see the table from above.
The Institute's dedicated Asian kitchen accommodates 15 students. It features specific Asian cooking equipment such as a Peking duck oven, dim sum steamers and numerous super wok burners.
The three training restaurants, including two fine dining restaurants, function as living classrooms. Interacting with members of the public, Hospitality Management students perfect their front of house, bar operations and function management skills.
