Humber’s Culinary Management diploma program teaches you the skills you need to excel as a chef in the culinary industry. Work in the world’s finest dining establishments, and take advantage of international study opportunities. Kick your career up a notch by competing in on-campus, national and international skill competitions.

The Emerging Trends course is unique among Ontario colleges, providing students with the opportunity to work alongside local guest chefs. Students also have the opportunity to experience preparing meals in The Humber Room (our full-service fine dining restaurant) and on the Humber Food Truck, Humber’s “classroom on wheels”. In addition, students work alongside great culinary leaders, and they receive unmatched time spent with several industry chefs current in today’s restaurant scene and food industry.

The first semester (January to April) is immediately followed by the second semester (May to August), resulting in a short summer break.
