What if I’ve never worked in a kitchen before?
That’s what we’re here for. Our Sous Chef Diploma is perfect for beginners—it’s designed to teach you essential skills from scratch in a hands-on, supportive environment and provide you with practical kitchen experience. You’ll be confident in the kitchen by the time you graduate and be ready for the workforce.
Yes! Just email info@chefschool.ca and we’ll send you a digital brochure for any of our programs, including Professional Chef and Culinary Management.
The Sous Chef Diploma is an 8-month program and perfect for students with little to no experience, while the Culinary Arts Diploma is a 5-month program ideal for cooks who want to advance their careers. Both programs offer hands-on learning and small class sizes, but the Culinary Arts Diploma program has a shorter duration.
If you’ve got some experience and want to level up, the Culinary Arts Diploma is a great next step. For those interested in business, leadership, or running a kitchen, the Culinary Management or Professional Chef Diploma programs are ideal.
We are currently using The Professional Chef: The Culinary Institute of America 10th Edition. This copy was released in September 2024 and is the most recent edition of the textbook.
