Testimonial
Alpine Center is not just another School, it is more like a big family built on and driven by passion, love, and teamwork among the faculty and staff and instilled in all the students.
I enrolled on the Culinary Arts programme of study at Alpine Center and although my career started in the kitchen my ambitions were high and I wanted to grow into more senior managerial positions in Food & Beverage. Thanks to the continued support of Alpine I was able to reach my goal and achieve the Food & Beverage Operations Manager position that I am very happy to be in now.
I strongly encourage all students interested in a serious career in the vast and global hospitality and food and beverage industry to think of Alpine Center’s Swiss programmes of study that will prepare you to succeed and much more!

Willingness to learn, love for what you do, passion, motivation and determination to succeed no matter what, are some of the qualifications you need to bring along and magic will happen.
Always remember, as one of my favourite quote says : “Some people want it to happen. Some people wish it would happen. Others make it happen”.
