[57]57 (i.e. 1997-8)
Explanation:
I was going to simply agree with Judith, but then it occurred to me that this could also be an abbreviation for 5757, and the context seems to bear this out - it is like talking about the "class of 98". My reason for this is that journal volumes sometimes use the last two letters of the date as an abbreviation (for instance, the Piskei Din volumes do this), and it seems to fit in with "מחזור" in this case, IMHO.

Therefore, the sentence is something like "completed chef's course - class of '98, which all ..." and whatever comes afterwards.

  -> you're probably right - I didn't expect to have this answer chosen, expecially given Judith's clarification. But what can I do about it now? Perhaps we should write to the moderator.
