Red Deer Polytechnic is pleased to offer Cook Apprenticeship Training in the W.A.T.S. format. Students attend Red Deer Polytechnic one day per week for 40 weeks, early September through late June. This format allows students to maintain employment while completing their formal training. Classes include kitchen labs, lectures and on-line materials. Students will experience both modern and classical cuisine. Cook Apprenticeship training at RDC is a 3-year program. Successful completion culminates in receipt of a Journeyman's Certificate and interprovincial Red Seal, the preferred designation for Cooks in the hospitality industry.
As a Cook, you will develop the knowledge and skills to prepare food in many different eating establishments. Cooks are responsible for nutrition, food costs and sanitation. Cooks may be employed in restaurants, hotels, clubs, catering firms, cafeterias, specialty food outlets and bases/camps. |
