The professional cook is the mainstay of all commercial food preparation. Professional cooks deal hands-on with food, its storage and cleanliness, as well as its preparation and presentation, utilizing a variety of styles and techniques. The professional cook program differs from the associate degree program specifically because it does not emphasize the general studies courses necessary for the degree. This program is also available in the evenings and on weekends.
With more and more restaurants opening worldwide and each offering more diversified menus, the need for highly qualified food specialists is growing dramatically. Statistics show there are currently four to five job openings for every qualified candidate in this field.
