🇦🇺🇱🇰 A New Chapter in Australian Culinary Education
VIITE & Don Sherman Institute Join Hands to Deliver Australian Culinary Qualifications in Sri Lanka
The Victorian International Institute of Technical Education (VIITE) and the Don Sherman Institute (DSI) have entered into a collaborative partnership to create new pathways for aspiring Sri Lankan chefs and hospitality professionals to access Australian-standard culinary education and qualifications right here in Sri Lanka.
This collaboration brings together VIITE’s expertise in Australian vocational education and training with the culinary experience and industry leadership of Chef Don Sherman and the Don Sherman Institute.
Through this partnership, students will have the opportunity to pursue recognised Australian-aligned culinary and hospitality qualifications, develop practical industry skills, and prepare themselves for further education and career opportunities in Australia and internationally.
👨🍳 From Sri Lanka to the World
The partnership is built around a simple vision:
“World-class culinary education, accessible from Sri Lanka.”
Students can begin their educational journey in Sri Lanka while gaining exposure to Australian training standards, professional kitchen practices and contemporary hospitality skills.
With the right pathways, aspiring chefs can study locally, build their skills and credentials, and progress towards further education and career opportunities in Australia.
🤝 A Partnership for the Future
The collaboration also brings together experienced culinary professionals and educators, including Chef Don Sherman and the VIITE culinary team, to strengthen practical training and industry-focused education.
This is more than an academic collaboration—it is a step towards creating globally minded Sri Lankan chefs and hospitality professionals equipped for the international industry.
