school Education
To be a cook, you usually must complete high school. You need a three-year apprenticeship program for cooks, or a college or other program in cooking, or several years of commercial cooking experience. Trade certification is available, but voluntary, in all provinces/territories. Interprovincial trade certification (Red Seal) is also available to qualified cooks. With additional experience and training, you may move up the ranks to a more senior position, such as chef. Most recent entrants have a high school diploma, and almost 3 in 10 have a trade/vocational certificate or community college diploma.
