Empyrean Education Institute is a great place for beginners to learn culinary skills. The trainers have a very hands on approach to teaching amateurs like us and yet do so with a lot of encouragement, making the students feel confident and enthusiastic. The modules are well developed and skillfully executed. The opportunities given to the students through Industry Placements gives us great exposure and a real feel of how the industry works. There is a perfect blend of the theoretical knowledge as well as the practical demonstrations of what we need to know, thus easing our transition from the college into the workforce. I really appreciate all the effort put in by my trainers Francesca and Neil for making me believe I have potential through the many moments of self doubt. I can truly say that Empyrean has delivered all that they promised at the Induction programme and I am happy to be a part of this institute.
