Culinary Skills – Chef Training

St. Lawrence College Culinary programs offer method-based, hands-on, experiential, work-integrated learning. Their programs are quality-based with approachable Chef instructors with diverse background experience in a collaborative real-world learning environment. Build the foundation to succeed, gain, and advance your skills and acquire the confidence to work in an exciting, fast-changing professional culinary world.

A combination of both theoretical and applied practical courses in our curriculum is designed to expose students to all aspects of cuisines. Small class sizes facilitate the student’s personal development into a skilled and thoughtful cook.

All culinary programs offer the flexibility to decide if a Culinary Skills Certificate (one-year program) or a Culinary Management Diploma (two-year program) is the right fit. All culinary program’s first and second-semester courses are the same, offering a seamless transition when deciding to transfer between a one-year and two-year culinary credential/program.
