A Unique Selection of Programs
We offer students a variety of programs at basic, intermediate and advanced levels.

Students have the opportunity to enrol in Apprentice, Certificate, Diploma and Post-Diploma programs. The Chef's School also offers specialized industry certificate programs for those who are currently in the workforce who want further upgrading or training.
Some of our programs are unique in Ontario, including Aboriginal Cuisine. Our post-diploma Italian Culinary Arts program features a three-month placement in Italy and the Institute of Advanced Culinary Arts offers advanced programming in areas where training has not been available before in Canada.
