Program details
Overview
Culinary Skills is a one-year certificate that provides the skills and knowledge needed for a career in the culinary industry. Students complete two terms of classroom and lab-based instruction in foundational culinary techniques and professional kitchen efficiency, followed by a paid, work-integrated placement in industry. The program builds food-safety practices and includes industry certifications such as Food Handler Level 1, WHMIS, and Smart Choices. It is delivered full-time with January and May intakes at the Exchange District Campus (Paterson GlobalFoods Institute) in Winnipeg, and May and September intakes at the South Winnipeg Campus. The certificate suits individuals seeking a practical entry point into professional cooking roles, combining classroom fundamentals with paid, real-kitchen experience rather than a longer culinary-management or advanced-diploma pathway.

Admission Requirements: Admission requires Grade 12 graduation, or final-year enrolment.

Applicants who completed three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the US, or an ELR-exempt country in English meet the language requirement; others must submit one of RRC Polytech's approved certificate-level English assessments.
