The Culinary Collective is built around the ways people like to eat, drink and be entertained today. Inspired by the pride New Zealand has for its unique food & beverage culture, we want to grow the next generation of chefs and bakers to put us on the world map.
Our goal is to help you make a career out of something you really care about. We’ll do that by getting you excited about New Zealand’s unique food & beverage culture. You’ll ’learn about where ingredients come from, how they’re prepared today, how they’re used traditionally and most importantly how to deliver meals in a modern, memorable way.
We’ll teach you more than just skills at The Culinary Collective. We’ll show you how to create top-notch dishes and how to tell the stories behind them. Whether you want to be a chef or baker, our number one focus is getting you ready to work in your chosen field.
The Culinary Collective is New Zealand’s premium culinary school located in Auckland and Hamilton. We are a member of the NZMA family, a Category One Provider, and form part of the largest vocational education group in New Zealand, UP Education.
