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.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
You already love the food and beverage industry. Now, you’re ready to enhance your passion with the food service management skills that are essential for success in today’s industry.
In our two-year Food and Beverage Management diploma program, you will master skills and build your knowledge in the areas of wine, the art of eating and dining, bartending and dining room service, and then expand on those fundamentals with an understanding of food and beverage cost control, financial success, service leadership and human resource management.
Whatever area of the industry you love the most, that’s the one you can specialize in – managing restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, catering companies or hotel food service operations – and this program will make you an expert. You’ll also build your knowledge of the technical and computer applications that are revolutionizing the industry, and develop the communications and interpersonal skills you’ll need to succeed in your career.
Best of all, you’ll study at our state-of-the-art restaurant and learning facility, The Chefs’ House, at 215 King Street East. Here you will have the invaluable opportunity to put theory into practice as you work alongside emerging top talent and serve a public of discerning urban diners at Canada’s new centre for food culture. You will also build your skills during a unique, 14-week industry externship in your fourth semester, which will be a huge advantage when you start your career.
This program has received level 3 accreditation from the internationally recognized Institute of Hospitality in the U.K.
