Professional Cooking is a one-year (35 week) certificate program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw campus and Saskatchewan Polytechnic Prince Albert campus. We’ll give you the kind of hands-on training you need to work as part of a culinary team. Our low student-to-instructor ratio means lots of one-on-one time with your instructors—all Red Seal certified cooks and many Certified Chefs de Cuisine. You’ll build knowledge and practical skills in:
basic cooking principles
baking
food presentation
kitchen management
meat, seafood and poultry preparation
quantity food production
short-order food production
safety, sanitation and WHMIS
When you graduate, you’ll find employment opportunities in major hotels, restaurants, cruise ship companies, vacation destination resorts and catering facilities. There are jobs in institutional food service establishments, such as hospitals and care homes, and also in the growing retirement community market.
Health insurance from the Saskatchewan government is completely free and is valid once the student is admitted to the University of Saskatchewan.
