Accelerate your career in the culinary arts

At Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa Culinary Institute we recognize the need for accelerated learning and have developed what is now known as the ‘Intensive Course’. Offered only once a year, the objective of this program is to help you achieve your Basic Certification in either discipline of Cuisine or Pâtisserie within 5 weeks. The Intensive Course program was developed to complement our traditional certificate programs.

Graduates from this new program have been known to be amongst a variety of people - industry professionals, career changers or passionate individuals with a flair for cooking. What better way to refresh your skills or begin a career in the culinary arts than by taking a quick and short 5 week course? We think it is a great opportunity, don’t miss it! Enroll now.

We encourage those who apply to be disciplined and dedicated due to the pace at which the course is taught. Students are expected to be in classes from anywhere between 40-45 hours per week. There is no difference in cost or curriculum structure between the normal “Basic Cuisine” course and the “Basic Cuisine Intensive” course.

Students who successfully graduate from the Intensive Course program are eligible to register for Level 2 (Intermediate) in January 2010.
