Red Seal Examination Certificate
100 Hours –5 Weeks Full-Time
This course is designed for working chefs who have completed, or almost completed, the 6,000 hour experience requirement needed to sit for the Red Seal examination and who need to review the theory essential to successful completion of the exam. This is not a diploma course, nor do the hours count towards Red Seal or other certifications. The Red Seal preparation course is, however, a very efficient and effective way to prepare for writing the Red Seal examination and will increase the potential for success significantly.Program Highlights
