Testimonials

By taking the pastry making program I was able to do a 6-month internship which was organized by Chef-Teacher Nancy Gagnon with Chef Michael Stadtlander at his restaurants Eigensinn Farm and Haisai in Ontario. Next Spring I will be working at Au Pied du Cochon Cabane au Sucre with Chef Martin Picard.

Pastry was always something that fascinated me as a child, and so I was thrilled to be able to take the pastry program at PACC Vocational. The teachers are truly caring, they are interested in making sure that you actually OWN the concepts and skills, and they are actively invested in your success as a pastry chef. I also have to tell you I had a great deal of fun!
