The Swiss Institute of Hospitality Institute , was founded by Herbert Derendinger for and on behalf of the Technikon
Pretoria in 1994, and brought to the Cape in 1997, it is a private institute using the Swiss
Syllabus, operating in South Africa.
The course is
now regarded as the only proper chef apprenticeship with a full time internship of 18-month, producing the future
generation of chefs the South African Hospitality Industry so desperately needs at all levels.
In South Africa “The Swiss Chef’s Course” originated in Pretoria in conjunction with Technicon Pretoria, the Hospitality
Industries training board now THETA, to bring it in line with (NQ) minimum National Qualification and the SA Chef’s
Association.

The student learns from professionally qualified chef’s the practical SKILLS & CRAFT (the best “ON THE JOB TRAINING”) with intense theoretical classes on a weekly basis that goes with the profession.
(This is not a cooking course for advanced home economics where experimental cooking is the order of the day attempting to compensate for that much needed experience required for the industry.)
