Empyrean creates a very caring and homely environment for their students and all staff are very supportive. I am very grateful to my trainers who have provided good guidance for my study and training. Apart from my studies, I am involved in different cultural communities which adds on valuable experience for my experience here in Perth. The course exceeded my expectations in terms of the amount of information and training in the kitchen. Most importantly, the industry experience is excellent as well.
