Certificate in Culinary Arts

The Culinary Arts Level 1 curriculum is broad and addresses the fundamental concepts of basic cookery, while training covers a diverse range of topics, from kitchen operations and nutrition to knife skills and hygiene. Culinary Arts Level 1 can be taken independently as a Certificate program or transfer credits to the one-year Diploma. Rigorous hands-on kitchen work teaches students cooking techniques, preparation, ingredients, cooking theories and presentation. Chef instructors combine classical principles and modern trends in the classroom and the kitchen portion of the program.
