Introduction
Learn the art and delivery of an exceptional culinary experience.
The Portage College Culinary Arts Diploma provides you with all the specialized knowledge and professional skills needed for the ever-changing and equally exciting foodservice industry.
Your instructors are certified Red Seal Chefs who are passionate about food. They are just as eager to teach you the fundamentals of regional and international foods as well as how to work in a fully functional commercial kitchen adhering to the strict standards of preparing, handling, and serving food.
Courses include culinary management, nutrition, and an introduction to food processing - all in the professional commercial kitchens in the Hospitality Training Centre.
A three-week practicum will provide additional experience as well as opportunities to network and make important contacts within the industry. Students are responsible for finding their own practicum placement. Plus, all our students receive National Food Safety Training, WHMIS training, and first aid training.
After the first year, students have the option to write first and second-period apprenticeship in cook exams. Students graduating from the program will be able to write the third-period apprenticeship in cook exams.
