College Diploma - Food and Beverage Management (1808)

The Food and Beverage Management courses in this diploma program have been designed to prepare students with the job skills for success in the restaurant and foodservice industry and the leadership skills for a progressive career. This field will include everything from the large multi-unit organizations to small independent operations that add up to a $70-billion industry in Canada and more around the world.

During this two-year hospitality program, students will learn in Centennial College's restaurant, quick service cafe and event centre before they embark on a 14-week industry work-integrated learning experience with one of the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts' food and beverage partners.

Students will also graduate with essential industry certifications (Smart Serve, Safe Food Handlers and CPR) that will make them even more employable in the restaurant industry, which is often said to be an extension of show biz. From dynamic staff to innovative menus, a modern restaurant experience is as much about the show as it is about the perfectly prepared food and flawlessly executed service. As a Food and Beverage Management program grad, students will play a crucial part in making it happen.
