Have you always wanted to be a professional cook but don't have the
time or money to attend a culinary college? Perhaps you're already
working in the food service industry and want to advance. Or maybe
you've dreamed about running your own restaurant. Then a culinary
apprenticeship is for you!

This 12-month American Culinary Federation program combines 4,000 hours of PAID on-the-job training with over 800 hours of classroom study and hands-on instruction. After all class hours are satisfactorily
completed, apprentices take national written and practical culinary
exams. Upon passing these exams and accruing 4,000 field hours,
apprentices earn the title *Certified Culinarian* and are prepared
for sous-chef level positions.

Topics include basic and advanced cooking, basic baking, garde manger, nutrition, culinary math, purchasing, dining service, kitchen
management, and menu planning and design. In addition, you'll receive
industry-mandated ServSafe and CPR certification.

It's estimated that over 200,000 new food service positions will be
created each year for the next five years. As a certified cook your
skills will be in high demand. So take the lead and join one of the
fastest growing industries in the world today!

NOTE: Prospective apprentices must have a high school diploma or GED.
