Education and training center at east

For more than sixteen years, the east Group has been firmly rooted in the Hamburg restaurant and hotel scene and is an institution when it comes to qualified training. Our corporate philosophy is geared towards promoting employees from within our own ranks, which means that many unique success stories can already be told.
With this objective in mind, the east academy was founded and our in-house education and training center was brought into being. In doing so, specially tailored programs were developed, tailored to the corresponding requirements and areas of activity, which continuously promote the further training of our employees.
We offer sophisticated hotel-specific training courses and courses for our trainees and employees. Speakers from the internal trainer circle as well as external trainers and coaches are available for training.

wine and champagne training

Terms like top note, boket and finish sound abstract and hard to grasp? After the wine and champagne training course in the east, the world of wine and champagne becomes a lot easier to understand for the participants.

World of tea

Hot water and done? Certainly not! The subject of tea is versatile and complex and has more to offer than is commonly thought. The team was extensively instructed in the tea training in the east.

Three bowls with coffee beans and ground coffee sit on upside-down golden cups at a bar with liquor bottles in the background.

Coffee please!

Temperature, pressure, water hardness and many more variables are necessary to conjure up the perfect coffee or espresso. In the barista training in the east, a lot was explained and, of course, tried out.

Three men in aprons make fresh pasta with a pasta machine in a modern kitchen, surrounded by cooking ingredients and utensils.

Spaghetti, Fussili & Co.

How is pasta actually made? What are tortellini filled with? The answers to these and many other questions were answered during the pasta training at clouds.

Crisis mood

What to do if the guest is dissatisfied? Sensitivity is required here. In the compulsory crisis management training for apprentices in the hotel industry, guidelines, strategies and behaviors are developed and role played.

A person wearing gloves fillets a large fish on a cutting board, with fillets and tools visible nearby.

Fish ahoy

Filleting a fish properly is not that easy. Where does the knife have to be applied? How do the bones run? In the fish training course, the cooking apprentices learn how to handle this versatile food correctly.

Six glasses of whisky with covers are arranged on a tasting mat on a wooden table, with a “Whisk(e)ys” booklet nearby.
