The Recipe to Success

A Career & Technical Education Program

For over 25 years, the Culinary Arts program at SLCC has been preparing students for careers as chefs or food and beverage supervisors in a wide range of industries.

This program prepares students for careers in culinary arts and fulfills the requirements for the National Restaurant Association (NRA) and American Culinary Federation (ACF) certifications.
SLCC offers the only culinary arts program in the state of Utah accredited by the American Culinary Federation.  SLCC's Culinary Arts Program is also recommended by the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation's ManageFirst Program.

The American Culinary Federation says programs that earn their approval "distinguish themselves from hundreds of other post-secondary culinary programs in the nation and abroad...
Graduated students have an advantage when seeking employment, because certification is representative of having the knowledge and skills to be successful."
