Central Arizona College

The Cook's Apprenticeship Program is a unique two-step program promoting the network between nutrition, culinary arts, and hospitality. The program is designed to provide basic training and knowledge for apprentice cooks interested in becoming professional chefs, as well as entry-level cooks from all food service, hospitality, and nutrition-related industries.

The student will obtain knowledge and practical experience in food preparation and production, proper sanitation, nutrition, dining and beverage service, use of food service equipment in professional kitchens, and basic supervisory and magement skills. The training will enable the student to meet the growing needs of the food service industry.

Students enrolled in the Cook’s Apprenticeship Program (CAP) may also transfer to the Dietetic Education Program or Hotel and Restaurant Management Program offered through Central Arizona College. Students completing both levels of the Cook’s Apprenticeship Program and the 6,000 practice hours may apply for the national certification exam through the American Culinary Federation Education Institute (ACFEI).
