Program Overview

This is a program developed to deliver the same outcomes as our Culinary Management Program, without the need to physically attend school on campus. Our online material was expertly created by an in-house team of culinary professionals who will guide you through this journey every step of the way. While there is no in-person component in this program, students will still be expected to participate in regular online activities and have live online classes with the same faculty who teach our in-person programs.

In the Culinary Management program, you'll discover that whether creatively designing a restaurant menu or planning culinary events within large hotel operations, working with food to provide world-class culinary experiences for guests is one of the most rewarding careers.

The art of cooking, blended with the skill of team leadership and business entrepreneurship, will ensure that when you graduate from this Culinary Management program, you'll find exciting career opportunities in the fast-paced, ever-changing industry. This field will take you anywhere you want to go. All you need is hard work, drive and passion.

With a focus on using local Ontario food products and learning about seasonal cooking, this college diploma program will teach you the necessary skills and knowledge to create exquisite menus and dishes inspired by global food trends and flavours.

You'll also graduate with important industry certifications such as Smart Serve, Safe Food Handlers and CPR, making you job-ready.

September Start: In the first year of the program, students will enjoy a blend of theory and practical ONLINE classes for two semesters, followed by a summer break. In the second year they complete their third semester of theory and practical classes, followed by an exciting 14-week online work-integrated learning course. This course is built intentionally as a replacement for the work placement component of the in-person program.

May/January  Start: Students will enjoy a blend of theory and practical ONLINE classes for four consecutive semesters with no break between semesters. Either the third or fourth semester will be their ONLINE Work Integrated Learning semester.
