    International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management Cebu Inc.Way back before ISCAHM started, Hans Schallenberg and Norbert Gandler have been friends from the Makati Shangri-La days when both served as part of the opening team of the hotel in 1992. Hans was the F&B Director and Norbert was the Executive Sous Chef. After Makati Shangri-La, Norbert moved on to become the Executive Chef of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, while Hans decided to go into private consultancy and put up Schallenberg and Associates Hotel & Restaurant Design. Even at that time, both had a vision to put up a culinary and hotel management school of international standards.In December 2003, the International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM) opened its doors in Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City. ISCAHM was put up as a realization of their dream to give quality education in the fields of hotel & restaurant management, culinary & pastry arts and food & beverage service at a very affordable price to Filipinos. They felt that it was possible to give the same quality of education being offered by European culinary and hospitality management schools at a much lesser price here in Manila. With this school, Hans and Norbert believe that they can help the Filipino excel in the field of culinary & pastry arts and hotel management.To help them give the quality education they envisioned, they invited their friends, executive chefs, pastry chefs and hotel executives of various international five-star hotels, to join the school’s faculty roster. The school now boasts of a high-caliber faculty list of hotel professionals from Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Sri Lanka, Canada and the Philippines with Chef Ernie Babaran as Faculty and Director for Pastry and Bakery Arts and in 2005, Chef Ulrich Willimann, also a part-owner, joined ISCAHM as Faculty and Director for Culinary Arts.The quality education of ISCAHM had impressed Culinary Solutions Australia International (CSAI) that brought upon an exclusive partnership agreement with ISCAHM for the Philippines to offer Australian Certificate III in Culinary Arts and Certificate III in Pâtisserie. Starting January 2011, ISCAHM has offered the Diploma in Culinary Arts and Kitchen Management with Australian Certificate III in Culinary Arts and Diploma in Pastry & Bakery Arts and Kitchen Management with Australian Certificate III in Pâtisserie.It is teamed up with 3 electives so that students will learn wider variety of foods and job prospects for local employment are better. The certificate III in culinary will open the gates of unparalleled opportunities and expand the horizons for ISCAHM graduates and be able to work in Australia, New Zealand and other trade partners/members of the Commonwealth of Nations.Not long after, its second campus was opened on July 12, 2012, this time, in the prime city of Cebu with the intent of reaching the southern part of the country. ISCAHM Cebu is located at Synergis IT Center along F.Cabahug Street in Kasambagan, Cebu City and they offer both diploma courses and short coursesas well.The two (2) ISCAHM campuses are all under the ownership and/or management and operation of the Hospitality School Management Group, Inc. which was incorporated on September 15, 2010.
