1 Apprenticeship Curriculum Standard Cook and Assistant Cook Level 1 Trade Code: 415A & 415B Date: 2002

2 Please Note: Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards were developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). As of April 8 th, 2013, the Ontario College of Trades (College) has become responsible for the development and maintenance of these standards. The College is carrying over existing standards without any changes. However, because the Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards documents were developed under either the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act (TQAA) or the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 (ACA), the definitions contained in these documents may no longer be accurate and may not be reflective of the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) as the new trades legislation in the province. The College will update these definitions in the future. Meanwhile, please refer to the College s website ( for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the College.

4 APPRENTICE COOK IN-SCHOOL CURICULUM INTRODUCTION This Curriculum Standard has been developed in keeping with the related Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) Training Standard. The Curriculum Standard provides a standard of theoretical knowledge and practical application to complement the on-the-job experiences of apprentices. The design of the Curriculum Standard facilitates cross-referencing between in-school learning outcomes and related workplace performance objectives as defined in the Training Standard for the trade. Apprentices, therefore, are expected to complete the learning associated with these objectives by applying the prescribed in-school knowledge to the required practical experiences in the work setting. Innovation and the use of complex equipment in trades are resulting in increasing demands for tradespersons who are not only skilled in the practical aspects of the trade, but who also have a sound theoretical knowledge.. The objectives of the Curriculum Standard, therefore, are to provide a basis for: a. Sound theoretical training to meet the challenges presented by innovation and increasingly complex tools and equipment within the work environment. b. Reinforcement of fundamental proficiency in the trade through the practice of work skills as identified in specific Learning Outcomes. c. Development of a high standard of trade craftsmanship and problem-solving skills. d. Development of a desirable work attitude and a keen sense of responsibility, particularly concerning public and personal safety. To assure maximum consistency in delivery, a time allocation has been included for each reportable subject, along with a theoretical and practical breakdown of the Learning Content. While setting out content requirements as determined by the Industry Committee and as prescribed in the Acts and Regulations for the trades, the Curriculum Standard has been designed to give the instructor every reasonable opportunity for flexibility and innovation in curriculum development, lesson planning and delivery. In all practical learning activities, the apprentices will abide by the Occupational Health and Safety Act and all other regulations and policies relating to safety, particularly the use of personal protective equipment. As a general guideline, a time allocation has been included for each respective course and unit. More detailed time allocations for the user have been provided for each topic area to assure consistency in delivery for each student intake. 3

5 To ensure that successful students will be capable of achieving the Learning Outcomes according to the performance criteria, specific times have been allocated in the respective areas to allow for practical skills development. EVALUATION In all practical food preparation and service labs, 25% of the unit mark is to evaluate the apprentice s knowledge and performance of sanitation practices: personal and area. Apprentices are expected to successfully complete a valid standard first-aid certificate prior to completion of the advanced level of in-school training.

7 EQUIPMENT LIST The following is a list of the equipment required by any institution wishing to deliver the approved Ministry curriculum. All items referenced refer to commercial type equipment. In addition to the necessary equipment, the facility must comply with the building codes of the local municipality. The most important requirement, however, is to have a well-qualified instructor on staff. Each station of the kitchen should have the equipment it needs to process, cook and hold the menu items assigned to it in the volume needed. There is no formula for what equipment is found at any given station. At times, the same piece of equipment may be shared by more than one station. This will depend on such factors as menu, volume number of students, schedule and health and sanitation regulations. Each class structure should be able to cover all food type operations including: fast-food, hotel food service, hospital kitchen, institutional cooking, fine dining and catering. One oven top range with four burners per student Eight foot stainless steel table or preparation space per two students Table with overhead mirror for demonstrations with complete workstation.
