Professional Designations
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.
Educational Quality Assurance is available to public and private institutions in B.C. that meet or exceed quality assurance standards set by the province of BC. This designation allows Northwest to host international students.
