Spring
is in the air!
It's
hard to believe that we are half-way through the winter term
& the professional students will be doing their mid-term
exams next week! The Vancouver weather is so mild we already
have cherry blossoms & crocuses starting to appear!
We
are proud to announce that NWCAV is now officially an "accredited"
school with the Private
Career Training Institutions Agency ("PCTIA"),
and is designated as an eligible school for student loans
& for withdrawals from RESP savings.
NWCAV
has many exciting events & new courses planned for the
coming months, check it out . . .
Professional
Culinary and Professional Pastry & Bread Making
Our
next professional term will begin April 25 and run through
August 4. If you've ever dreamed of pursuing your professional
culinary passions, and you think you can "take the heat",
then you need to check out our programs. Click on the
course names above for more information.
Announcing
our new
Professional
Restaurant Patisserie
program
to start September, 2006!
Much
of the curriculum will be the same as the current Professional
Pastry & Bread Making class. The difference being that
this course will be the best choice to develop pastry skills
required of a restaurant culinary chef. Emphasis will
be on topics such as plated desserts, and less on creating
showpieces & detailed decorative work (which will still
be covered in the Pastry & Bread class). The Professional
Restaurant Patisserie class will be offered Monday-Thursday
evenings, freeing students to work part-time if necessary.
Details will be posted to our website very soon. In the meantime,
if you would like more information please call us at 604.876.7653.
Practicum
As
more & more students participate in practicums, we are
continually expanding our industry contact to offer exciting
& useful placements. This term will have several students
in local hotels & restaurants, as well as overseas. Here
are links to a few of the host kitchens:
Jumeirah
Beach Hotel, Dubai, UAE
C
Restaurant, Vancouver
Serious
Amateur Classes
The very popular Serious Foodie programs have been expanded
to include:
8-day
Serious Foodie - Basics
8-day

6-day
Serious Foodie - Advanced
Click
on the links above to visit our web calendar for course descriptions.
We will be trying something a little different in the next
Basics class - teaching will be shared between three of our
professional Chef Instructors, Chef Tony, Chef Christophe
& Chef Marco. New sessions start in May, and are selling
out quickly so call now to reserve a spot!
Chef
Barbara continue to guide the junior chefs with all new Kids
& Teens cooking classes this spring.
Topics include celebration cakes, family supper & a popular
3-day teens "basics" series. You can register your
budding culinarians by phone.
All
of our "serious amateur"
classes can be found on our website's "NWCAV
Events" calendar.
Are
you looking for an innovative idea for a staff "team
building" event? How about an innovative birthday party?
An extremely popular idea is to hold a Private
Party (cooking class)! Great for
anytime you want to get together with friends, family or coworkers
in a fun, empowering way. All classes are hands-on,
you will eat the delicious food you prepare, and recipes are
yours to keep!
