The Regency International Centre has a very proud history which began in 1973 with the establishment of a small School of Food and Catering at the Pennington Migrant Hostel (just a few kilometres away from the Centre's current location). In 1977, the School of Food and Catering shifted to new
premises on the Regency Park site, becoming the largest state-of-the-art food and hospitality training establishment in Australia.
For the next 25 years, the School of Food and Catering (later known as the Regency Hotel School) continued to grow and prosper, building a reputation for excellence in training for the hospitality and food processing industries on a national and international level. In 1993 this reputation for quality training was instrumental in the Regency Hotel School (in partnership with the International College of Hotel Management) becoming the only hotel school outside of Switzerland to deliver the Swiss Hotel Association's - Diploma of Hotel Management.
At the same time, Le Cordon Bleu - notably the most famous cooking School in the world formed a partnership with the Regency Hotel School to deliver Le Cordon Bleu courses on its behalf and to be the headquarters for its Asia-Pacific operations. In 2002, the Regency Hotel School shifted to a new $40 million purpose-built facility also on the Regency Park site. At this time it changed its name to the Regency International Centre to reflect the diversity of programs that it currently delivers.
Facilities at the centre include a 400 seat function centre and public restaurant, a private dining room, 4 bars, a retail and coffee shop, 8 fully equipped kitchens, 4 demonstration kitchens with a combined capacity of 200, 2 large bakeries, a butcher and smallgoods production facility, wine cellar, dedicated wine appreciation rooms, a large food processing hall and a leading-edge applied food industry training centre, including laboratories, a sensory evaluation area and a product development kitchen.
This facility is unique in the world not only because of its physical attributes, but because of its ability to facilitate training across the entire food industry value chain. Find out more about Regency International Centre facilities
