About College Certificate - Marine Cook

This 41-week program prepares students for a career as a Marine Cook, working on a seafaring vessel. Students are required to complete all aspects of the program curriculum as well as the Marine Emergency Duties (MED) certification, and a 28-day sea service that involves working in the galley on an offshore vessel.

Graduates can then apply to Transport Canada for Ship’s Cook certification.
 
In addition to a Certificate in Marine Cooking, graduates earn certificates in Marine Advanced First Aid, Security Awareness Training for Seafarers with Designated Security Duties, and BS-STCW95.
