Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
This is the route to the top of your field. You’ll learn everything you need to know to succeed as a chef, cook or culinary manager in our two-year Culinary Management diploma program.

And you’ll become the kind of well-rounded graduate everyone in the industry is searching for. In addition to hands-on cooking labs, our special-focus courses will teach you about the changing culinary world, the interpersonal skills you’ll need to build a successful career, and the leadership skills you’ll need to run a business. To top it all off, you’ll also complete a unique industry externship program, which will give you a chance to work with top chefs.
