Program details
Overview
Culinary Skills Indigenous is a one-year certificate that prepares students to work in the culinary industry through courses developing fundamental cooking skills, food knowledge, and basic business skills. Terms one and two combine classroom-based theory with lab-based practice, building toward industry certifications including Food Handler Level 1, WHMIS, First Aid, and Fire Safety. Term three is a paid, four-month cooperative work placement that gives students real-kitchen experience with an industry employer. The program is delivered full-time at the Notre Dame Campus in Winnipeg, with a September intake. It suits Indigenous students seeking a practical, supported entry point into professional cooking roles, combining foundational culinary training with paid work experience rather than a longer culinary-management pathway.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires Grade 12 graduation, or final-year enrolment. Applicants aged 19 or older who have been out of high school for at least a year may qualify as mature students, provided they still meet the program's English language requirement. 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.
