2 Week Bootcamp

$2,145.00

Monday to Friday
9am – 2pm

Tie up those boot straps, bring your brain, note pad, sharp knives (you’ll learn to sharpen a dull one), willing hands, courage and take the most fulfilling ride of your life. This course simulates the intensive learning curve that our professional students experience. The big win? Stimulate an intensive commitment and emerge with the confidence and courage (the two “C’s” key to any growth) that you would never achieve otherwise. The course culminates with The Big Night—a five-course menu which you will compose and execute with teammates, and serve at Northwest to your invited guests. There is no formal cost for the dinner, but we do ask for a small donation to organizations we support in the community.

You are more than welcome to supply your own toolkit or purchase one from us. Our toolkit comes with the following: Japanese-style chef’s knife, paring knife, metal pastry scraper, and towels
