The official opening in May 2011, allowed to welcome a first class of 36 students brought to follow the course in three years whose last year consists of a practical training course. Since 2013, the training lasts 2 years; the school has about 60 permanent students (30 first year and 30 second year).
A restaurant, a kitchen and a hotel fully equipped allows the students to train to real professional conditions.
