TEC professional culinary courses are offered by the Professional Association of Turin Chefs – Associazione Cuochi Torino (ACT), the oldest Italian culinary association where all the Turin culinary professionals refer to. This association collaborates with other provincial associations to the Regional Union of the Piedmontese Chefs (U.R.C.P.). All Italian provinces and regions belong to the Italian Federation of Chefs (F.I.C.), member of the World Association of the Chefs Societies.
The Professional Association of Turin Chefs was founded in the far 1722 under the name of “Pia Associazione dei Cuochi e Famigli d’ambo i sessi sotto l’alto Patronato di S. Pasquale Baylon” (Pious Association of female and male Cooks and Families under the high Patronage of S. Pasquale Baylon) as you can still read on the Association banner today.
ACT is a dynamic organization with a board of directors of 15 professionals and hundreds of members working in the many culinary fields: chefs, restaurant and catering owners, tourism and food production. All courses taught by the ACT are accredited by the Regional Government of Piedmont and recognized by the professional restaurant world in Italy and abroad.
The ACT historical tradition makes of its classes the n.1 culinary school in Turin and in Italy!
At the end of the ACT professional courses, ACT alumni are empowered with the right professional know-how to open their own business and even a culinary school!
