The study of fact, theory and concept is not sufficient to educate a
culinary and
hospitality professional. The individual must have the opportunity
to see the
skills, processes and ingredients in action, and to practice them.
Culinary and
Hospitality involves high level of motor and interpersonal skills
learning. The
profession requires a great combination of the art and science and
these skills
can only be learned in practice.
Pedagogy at SSCA, Pune is largely based on this principle and is a
mix of many
learning methodologies. Apart from the usual chalk-n-talk, there is
a conscious
effort to make the sessions interactive by using case studies and
references of
latest developments in the culinary and hospitality field. The
pedagogy at SSCA
is designed to incorporate the appropriate practical components to
have a
thorough grounding in the art and science of practical learning.
In addition, students are encouraged to undertake multiple hands-on
projects to
hone their research and analytical skills. Latest state-of-the-art
equipment and
techniques are used wherever possible. Ample guest lectures are
organized by
inviting Industry leaders, managers, specialists Chefs and Leading
Celebrity
Chefs for classroom inputs and demonstrations. Field visits to
relevant areas of
culinary and hospitality skills are also a regular feature. SSCA
also offers an
opportunity to the students to get a first-hand feel in managing
food events,
outlets and pastry shop.
