Campus Info:
SCA-Long Island occupies over 12,000 square feet of space in a suburban setting near major roadways in Syosset, Long Island. Four operating kitchens are equipped with standard equipment for commercial kitchens including professional ranges and ovens, deck ovens, convection ovens, proof-box, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, baker’s wood tabletops, low-boy refrigerator with marble top for candy making, as well as commercial equipment such as mixers, blenders, meat slicers, food processors, steam kettle, fryers, and a commercial walk-in box. The kitchen used in the Professional Pastry and Baking program also includes a new Alto Shaam combi-oven, a double convection oven and a 50-gallon capacity Carpigiani ice-cream production machine. Two attractive dining areas serve as student lounge space as well as a simulated restaurant environment, allowing students to serve other students and guests as part of the training program. Theory/lecture components of the culinary and pastry/baking programs are taught in well-lit, comfortable classrooms with a seating capacity of 20 students while kitchens are approved for a maximum class size of 20.

A library/resource room for the culinary programs maintains Internet-accessible computers, a collection of culinary books, texts and periodicals, and a copier for student use. The school’s extensive collection of culinary videos can also be accessed by students for on-campus use through faculty member permission and a career services collection is maintained in the office of the Career Services Coordinator for student use during the job search process and a Hotel and Restaurant Management collection is maintained in the Hotel and Restaurant Management computer lab.

Hotel and Restaurant Management students spend a portion of their time in a computer lab setting using the Fidelio-Opera, an industry property management software. The software simulates all the linked activities of a full service hotel and students can carry out a full range of essential hotel functions, from making reservations to entering information into bookkeeping accounts. Live banquets are organized in cooperation with culinary students and staff.

*Continuing education programs are not approved under the scope of Star Career Academy’s institutional accreditation.
