Description:
The Culinary Arts: Restaurant Dining Room Service Skills Certificate program was created in response to the Sonoma County restaurant industry's pressing need for properly trained guest service staff. This certificate will provide short-term intensive training to equip students with skills including table service, banquet service, wine service, food and wine pairing, host/hostess duties, point of sale system, and maintenance of front house operations. This certificate can be completed in one 8-week block.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate station organization, storage, menu comprehension, and sanitation
principles as they apply to food and beverage operation;
- Exercise appropriate dining room management and customer service techniques; and
- Demonstrate the importance of local and seasonal produce in the professional food industry.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
