Welcome to ICAS Training & Education College (ICASTEC).
Prior to establishment of ICASTEC, we were the education arm under the International Cuisine Association of Singapore (ICAS). In 2005, ICAS Training & Education College (ICASTEC) was hived off as a private entity with the aim to impart knowledge and skills for employees and to prepare students for their future career path in the Hospitality and Food Service industry. We are proud to be among the foremost organizations in teaching of Food & Beverage and Culinary Skills (Western) in Singapore.
Over the years, ICASTEC positioned as a vocational school with great passion and enthusiasm for hospitality, food and beverage, culinary and pastry with focus on leadership, entrepreneurship and management, and be recognized as one of the world-class quality education institution.
At ICASTEC, we offer quality education programs as well as “after study” opportunities and progression, including internship.
- ICASTEC recognises the importance of Holistic Education and preparation of our students for personal development, career and life
- ICASTEC offer opportunities for “After-School” Progressions
ICASTEC has developed transparent redress policies to allow every students feedback and issues be addressed as promptly as possible. Concerns raised by our students will be acknowledged immediately and within 3 working days and the resolution process will be from 14-21 working days.
We also have also put in place a Fee Protection Scheme – Group (FPS-G), which serves to protect the student’s fees. Our course fee structure and all the fee components are fully made known to the students at the point of enrolment and during pre-course counselling of our authorized list of approved recruitment agents.
I welcome prospective student to navigate our website (www.icastec.com.sg) for important and up-to-date information with regards to our Management, Faculty, Course Fee Details, Refund Policy and Fee Protection Scheme – Group (FPS-G).
We continue to review and upgrade our facilities as the school grows and develops.
