Culinary Arts provides a pathway for creative employment opportunities within all aspects of the food industry. This programme provides students with a knowledge and understanding of kitchen technologies, the business aspects of catering operations and the science and nutrition of food. Our students engage in an active kitchen environment on a daily basis both individually and as part of a team. Students also operate and manage a training restaurant within the college.

IT, Tralee is located within the premier tourism hub of Ireland, which facilitates strong industry links and a professional network of employment opportunities. The college boasts a self-contained Hotel, Culinary and Tourism department, with five modern kitchens, purpose built demonstration kitchen theatre, a training restaurant and bar. A key strength of the department is the staff to student ratio which creates a supportive learning environment. All staff come from a varied food industry background, which provides the opportunity to link both the theory and practice of culinary arts. The department also offers a number of unique scholarship exchange programmes, which brings an international dimension to this programme.
