UFV’s Culinary Arts Certificate
The University of the Fraser Valley offers a Culinary Arts Certificate. The university is also home to the Food and Agricultural Institute (FAI) an interdisciplinary research centre that focuses on issues, challenges, and sustainability solutions related to food and farm systems.
Program Highlights:
The full-time, 39-week Culinary Arts certificate program at the University of the Fraser Valley sets up students for success in the culinary world. Students will gain the in-class training necessary to work in any kitchen, combined with hands-on experience working at the school’s Rivers’ Dining Room under the supervision of professional chefs. The program will cover topics such as safety and sanitation, knife-handling skills, use and care of equipment, cooking methods, banquet planning, à la carte dining, basic service skills, and menu planning and costing.
When students begin the program they are registered as an apprentice with Skilled Trades BC. UFV allows secondary school students to complete this program through a concurrent studies model during their Grade 12 year.
What You’ll Leave With:
Upon completion of the certificate program students will gain advanced placement in the apprenticeship program. Once all requirements have been met apprentices are eligible to write the Professional Cook Level One and Two Certificate of Qualification exams.
