A SUCCESSFUL YEAR @ MHA!

Training more than 500 employees on short skills programs, 30 chef students, 15 generic management learners, 15 professional cookery learners and a host of satisfied clients.

Here are some highlights into 2022

3rd year here we come!

As our second year students embark on their final exams. We are proud of all you have accomplished. Goodluck! Chef Gordon once quoted a famous chef, Jacques Pepin "I tell a student that the most important class you can take is technique. A great chef is first a great technician. 'If you are a jeweler, or a surgeon or a cook, you have to know the trade in your hand. You have to learn the process. You learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you."
