The Alliance by Institut Lyfe
The Alliance by Institut Lyfe is composed of the world's top Hospitality, Food Service and Culinary Management schools and universities in four continents. The students of the Alliance members have the unique opportunity to take a 10-week long bespoke training course at Institut Lyfe in its summer camp, to perfect their technical skills and develop leadership, to discover French culture, share an international experience anchored in realities of the profession and disseminate their own cultures and customs. During 3 months, students receive expert teaching that combines theoretical and practical classes, demonstrations with hands-on practice in cuisine, pastry, bakery, hospitality, bar and service, in the different laboratories, restaurants, and hotels of Institut Lyfe.
Programs
Students can choose between a hands-on Advanced Culinary Arts program and a Hospitality & Food Service program. The exchanges, which are open to both students and teachers, will now be adopted throughout the network’s partner schools in order to open up to tomorrow’s worldwide tourism challenges.
A life-changing experience
This experience is a real human adventure. It allows students to grow up as professionals but also as a person. With a step back, Alliance Alumnus revealed that those innovative educational programs have changed their way of cooking, their approach to welcoming, and their vision of the profession.
