Fees

Due to the hands-on nature of our program, we consume a lot of materials and supplies; thus a four-tier payment plan is available to help students cover the $1,450 fee.

IET Culinary Basics

Under Chef Riggs’ guidance, participants will study recipes, learn safety procedures, and prepare meals.
