Conestoga has built an unusual cluster of artisanal food certificates, and this one sits alongside the professional cheese making certificate and the Italian culinary arts route within the same small catalogue of fifty six programmes.

Graduate Certificate in Charcuterie and Artisanal Foods is taught at Conestoga College, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the charcuterie certificate sits below degree level, so a post-graduation work permit depends on it appearing on the IRCC eligible field of study list, and hospitality, culinary and event subjects generally do not appear on it. Treat the charcuterie certificate as carrying NO work permit unless Conestoga confirms its CIP code is eligible in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the charcuterie certificate.
