Program Overview

The Culinary Arts Certificate (and Year 1 of the Culinary Arts Management Diploma) is designed for students who are passionate about exploring a career in the restaurant, food service and hospitality industries.

Learner centered, industry driven and community connected, this 50 week (1,500 hour) program provides the fundamental skills needed for successful employment in the culinary field.

The immersive, experiential curriculum takes full advantage of the Okanagan Valley's rich agricultural history. Shaped by ancient geological forces, students will continue to realize the benefits today using the products of its many farms, orchards and vineyards in our teaching kitchens.

The applied learning style of instruction provides students with opportunities to practice and directly employ culinary skills in context while participating in authentic learning activities individually, in pairs and teams. Proper techniques and practices are reinforced while providing opportunities for exploration and experimentation as tied to related course concepts.

Apprenticeship technical training credit for Professional Cook Level 1 and Level 2 and 600 work based hours for Level 1 and 240 work based hours for Level 2 will be granted by SkilledTradesBC upon successful completion of this program. Apprenticeship practical training credit will also be granted by SkilledTradesBC as a result of prior practical experience.

Students must provide proof of completion of the co-op or other 400 work-based hours and successfully complete all Level 1 components prior to advancing to Level 2 components of the program. Upon successful completion of Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, students are eligible to challenge the Provincial Cook Certificate of Qualification examinations for Level 1 and Level 2.

Students wishing to pursue the Professional Cook Red Seal endorsement must provide proof of a total of 5,000 work-based hours and complete Level 3 technical training.
