Any Culinary schools close to Joensuu/Kuopio?

Hey guys,
Trying to find a school/university that teaches Culinary Arts near the Joensuu/Kuopio region. All I can find is schools in Helsinki and since I cannot yet read Finnish I'm having problems finding this out while searching in English. Which brings up another point, school must be taught in English, heh.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you very much!
I'm trying to navigate that site and find the culinary area but I'm having some trouble. I clicked "in English" and found the food, catering, etc area. But is there another place on there (maybe in Finnish that I can read?) that tells about the culinary? Thank you so much

What are you expecting? Catering is the one teaching cooks. http://www.sakky.fi/index.asp?language=1

Sorry, I was expecting like an actual culinary school. With a degree to earn or something. But I can't read anything on that website that tells about any actual culinary course. Maybe it's my American English but isn't catering more learning how to set up parties and such?

You specialize to either cook, wait or to stand behind the reception desk.

They have several different courses like "restaurant cook"(degree), "catering cook"(degree) (suurkeitiö kokki, large buffets/hospitals etc.), and "refresher courses" (part time) for people already working in the industry. But they don't organize every course each year. As far as I know they haven't organized any English "kitchen courses" in the last couple of years. (not enough interest)
