What this course is:

The BAS Culinary Arts Program is a one-semester hands-on course designed for students serious about pursuing work in the industry. Upon completion, students will have earned a California Food Handlers Card and a BAS Culinary Arts Completion Certificate. Working under the direction of our formally trained chef, students will learn safety and sanitation, terminology, techniques, kitchen equipment, and so much more. While in the course, students will build a working resume, learn to read and cook recipes, and plate and serve delicious dishes. Students will also fully understand what it takes to work in a restaurant, gain job-readiness skills, and learn how positive habits dictate success in the industry.

Expectations:

This is a classroom and business setting in a bustling Café environment. It requires students to attend daily, demonstrate professionalism, fully participate in all activities, display a strong work ethic, and complete and submit assignments on time. It should be understood that this is a very physically demanding course designed for students serious about working in the food service industry. By the end of the course, we hope that students will find great satisfaction in this creative and rewarding field, gaining the confidence and courage to share their new-found talents in the industry!
