The Industry Training Association certifies cooks through three levels until they attain their Red Seal status. Northwest works with the organization to help culinary students achieve Cook Level 1 while attending Northwest and sponsors students through the remainder of the process

The Private Training Institutions Branch is the certifying body for all diploma- and certificate-granting organizations in British Columbia. Northwest is a Designated Institution, meaning we meet additional requirements associated with a higher level of quality.
