A scorching hot summer’s day in Stellenbosch could not keep away the new first year recruits, eager to register and start the journey into an exciting professional culinary career at the ICA.  Students from all over the world, from as far as Saudi Arabia, Namibia and Kenya, enrolled again this year, together with their fellow South African first years.  The new students received detailed orientation through a full induction programme to help equip them for the high standard of the ICA training environment.  From the word “go”, training at the ICA is intensive and focused, brining with it a standard that has proved the ICA to be SA’s very best training facility for world-class chefs.
