Anthony Powell

My favorite part was the lab classes because of the challenges they provide. You come in, format a menu and an entire schedule for the day, put everything together, serve your guests and then you still have to clean up – you’re doing everything in one day.

Esmeralda Mendez

I really liked the curriculum because it touched on a bit of everything – accounting, sales, marketing, human resources and food labs. I also like the small classes, you get to know everyone.

Toi Malone

The program gave me versatility and knowledge on different areas in the industry... I’ve had some pretty cool classes in the HTM program.

Hailey Arlist

My eventual career goal is to manage a high-end restaurant. PNW classes simulate what I would need to do in the real world, preparing me better for the future.
