Career Technical Education Teaching Credentials

Many culinary schools claim to be state approved Culinary programs, but most do not require their Instructors to hold a valid teaching credential. Here at the Baldwin Park Adult and Community Education - Food Service and Hospitality Culinary Arts Program all our Instructors have worked in the Foodservice industry AND hold a valid Career Technical Education (CTE) Teaching Credential. Our curriculum is approved by the California Department of Education and we have a dual accreditation through Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) as well as Council on Occupational Education (COE).

We teach our students to the rigerous standards of the Food Service Industry so our students are competitive and immediately employable once they graduate. We have established loyal relationships with local Food Service operations to help in job placement and to receive direct feedback regarding our curriculum to ensure students are being taught what employers are looking for!
