Dear Students,

Thank you for considering The Professional Culinary Institute of California's Hospitality Management Associate Degree Program. Our hotel and restaurant management courses are uniquely designed to provide the education and training you need to prepare you for the hospitality career you want - faster, less expensive, and with more hands on training.

With an abundance of opportunities in amazing locations all over the world, you will find hospitality management to be one of the most exciting, diverse, and rewarding careers. Whether you are simply looking to advance your hospitality career with food and beverage education and training, or you want to begin a career in hotel management or restaurant management, or you are interested in a lucrative career that allows you to travel, jobs in the hospitality industry are some of the most lucrative, fun, and rewarding careers in the world.

PCI was created by experienced hospitality professionals and educators, not a corporation. And in our years of experience around the world in the hospitality industry, we found that many restaurant and hotel college students were spending too much money, and years in school only to enter the hospitality industry unprepared.

Hospitality and hotel jobs are hands on, yet most hotel and restaurant management courses and food and beverage education and training keep students behind a desk, with their heads in a book. Not only do they lack hands-on food and beverage training, but many of their classes are filled with non-hospitality students and not focused specifically on hospitality. For example, at a college that does not specialize in hospitality, the accounting class will be a general accounting class, and not one specifically designed for the hotel, travel, restaurant, or food and beverage industries. This dilutes the focus of the class and further hinders your ability to permanently retain the information. Plus, many teachers are merely academics with little actual experience working in the field. The result for hospitality students coming out of these restaurant and hotel colleges is that they are behind the times, and have almost no hands-on training in hospitality related fields such as customer service, the culinary arts or wine & spirits.

This leaves them helpless when it comes to managing a restaurant, bar, or banquet, three essential areas in the hospitality profession.

We knew there was a better way. The Professional Culinary Institute of California created our hotel and restaurant management courses from the ground up. With world-class instructors, a state-of-the-art facility, small class sizes, job placement assistance, and our revolutionary Artisense method of culinary instruction, it's no surprise that our very first graduating class' hot food team became the ACF national champions, and that their Certified Sommelier School is the first ever endorsed by the Court of Master Sommeliers.

PCI has made a reputation for giving students the skills and experience they need to quickly excel in the marketplace. Now we have a hotel and restaurant management school designed to put you on the fast track to the hospitality career of your dreams - restaurant and hotel management training that is up-to-date and built to incorporate every new hospitality industry innovation as soon as they happen so you'll be on the cutting edge. We've combined the European philosophy of impeccable service and hands-on training with the most up-to-the-minute technologies in hospitality education so you'll learn faster and more efficiently. Our staff is composed of highly trained industry experts with years of real-world experience. And we've incorporated our award winning culinary and wine education programs into our hospitality school, so that you'll have the most well-rounded hospitality education possible.

Finally, you'll create a complete hospitality business plan for your own hotel, restaurant, or hospitality business of your choice, which you will then present to potential hospitality employers at our hospitality employment expo. When you graduate from PCI's Hotel and Restaurant Management College, you will know exactly how to become a hotel manager and how to manage a restaurant like a pro.

We are so proud of PCI and our Hotel and Restaurant Management Degree Program. With our unparalleled instruction and world-class faculty, we have created the perfect restaurant and hotel school to provide the skills, leadership, and expertise necessary to guide you towards your dream job in restaurant and hotel management.

Sincerely,

The Professional Culinary Institute Team
