In just two short years you will have the opportunity to train and interact with 20 leading culinary professionals – an amazing experience for anyone passionate about the culinary arts.

During this full-time two year program, you will be trained in all aspects of the culinary trade including foundational cooking techniques, garde manger, introduction to global cuisines, patisserie and culinary management which includes courses such as hospitality mindset, teams and cultures, beverage arts and culinary diplomacy to mention a few. In an industry experiencing high demand, graduates from SAIT’s Culinary Arts program gain valuable, real-life experience and are well prepared for a diverse range of options in the dynamic culinary world.

As a student, you will learn essential cooking skills and current trends through repetitive production style cooking for the public under the watchful eyes and guidance of their professional chefs – just like you would in a real kitchen. Working in teams, you will hone your professionalism, critical thinking and effective communication skills.

Between the second and fourth semesters of your study, you will get to apply your skills in the industry through a professional paid internship. In addition to learning in a real-world environment, internships provide valuable connections and opportunities to network with future employers. As a student, you can also take advantage of exciting international study tours. Previous tour locations have included Australia, France, Spain, Italy, Chile and Thailand.

Half-way through course, and still no resolution on 360 email. No one available to talk to, and contacts noted in email are never available. Was like this when I registered last year. You'd think I'd learn.

Absolutely horrible. I quickly realized high school upgrading classes are for people who recently took the class and wanted get better grades. It’s been 20 yrs since I was in school and was hoping to learn something but the teachers only wanted to talk soccer. I tried multiple times to get help from my teacher and was told to get a tutor. I paid a lot of money and took a lot of my time to take this course only to realize I’ve been duped. That the teacher in the class isn’t there to help but to fill a seat with a warm butt. I complained and tried to get my money back but it was too late they said. And being behind with a teacher who won’t teach or help…I dropped out and the experience stopped me from taking any education classes. I only wish when I called to sign up that sait wouldn’t lie to you but say “it’s only to refresh if you just took the course last term. Don’t expect to be taught anything but the latest soccer scores.”
