Internship Testimonials
“After a few weeks of getting to know how things worked, I began to manage my time wisely; I have learned so much in a short amount of time. My manager praised me on how quickly I learned how to do things and how quickly I moved in the kitchen which in a way was familiar to me because these were the things I was taught and trained to do at Enderun. I was very proud to have gotten that compliment from my colleagues.”
Christina Dayupay
Ritz-Carlton Tokyo (Japan)
“Enderun provided everything that I needed and helped me prepare for my internship. Enderun made sure that I got all the skills needed for the said training. All the recipes and ingredients I had to memorize, the kitchen tools and equipment that I had to be familiar with, the kitchen manners that were instilled in us, the positivity despite the time pressure and the team work gave me the motivation to work to the best of my ability.”
Suzette Bautista
Allard (France)
“Enderun gave me an advantage, by equipping me with culinary skills, to survive in the real kitchen. They were able to teach me the basic culinary techniques I needed to know in order for me to be able to work well in the kitchen. I don't think I would be able to prepare myself without the knowledge and skills that the chefs imparted to us.”
Robert Mark Uy
Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay
“Enderun did prepare me for the internship, from the knowledge, guidance, basic knife skills, and cooking method. There is no doubt that the school helped me build my foundation. It was not enough though to just learn the theoretical aspects because I had to experience everything. Not everything will be taught in school and this was what my mentor told me. I had to experience it personally and adapt to the given environment.”
