At Institut Escoffier, we apply Finnish teaching techniques which emphasize teamwork and practical learning. We have established the following mechanisms to enhance our students' feedback:
1. Our students are taught how to learn effectively.
2. Memorization is not a guaranteed path to success; however, we seek to recruit only those students who are passionate about their studies, resulting in a success rate of over 95% in each programme.
3. Self-confidence is a critical attribute, and we strive to develop it in our students, believing that each student has the internal resources to succeed.
4. We incorporate theatre as a pedagogical tool, allowing us to address issues such as shyness, public speaking, posture, and elocution.
5. Our teachers are facilitators, responsible not only for transmitting information effectively but also for the overall well-being of the students. Our team includes a qualified psychologist.
6. We value and build upon the existing knowledge of our students by providing practical classroom and master class situations.
7. Institut Escoffier standards are taught at the Institut Escoffier, and students are only allowed to embark on work experience after demonstrating an understanding of these standards.
8. Practice is essential for effective learning, and at Institut Escoffier, we reinforce learning through practical work.
9. Practical work is conducted face-to-face with clients, either in the teaching restaurant or during internships.
10. At Institut Escoffier, we encourage our students to participate in Student Club activities that involve social, ecological, artistic, and cultural projects, thereby extending learning beyond the diploma reference.
11. Our internships take place with reputable partners, both locally (e.g. Beachcomber, Constance, Lux, VLH, Sun Resorts, Indigo) and internationally (e.g. Relais et Château, Michelin Star Chef).
12. We place a strong emphasis on the acquisition of foreign languages to better equip our students to operate in a global industry.
