As a production kitchen we are eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccination per Virginia's Phase 1B status. We expect to have at least 90% of staff fully vaccinated before a new semester begins. We will still follow CDC guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing. Class is conducted under a 30 foot hood providing maximum ventilation. A PCR Covid-19 test will be mandatory for all students prior, and potentially during, the semester to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
MCAI is happy to announce that we are now offering payment plans for tuition. Weekly and monthly payments can be made and you can start the course now and finish it within two years, paying as you go.
