CPC has once in a lifetime opportunity to start what you would like to do in life a few years early and at least have a basic knowledge about what you’re going into that might save you time in college with deciding what you want to do, AND if you’re in the EMT or Health Science program, you can get many different certifications and licenses that progress you and make you a step further than almost everybody else in your college class.

As of right now I am in my second year of the health science program. CPC has allowed me to actually get out into the medical field and get first hand experience as well as prepare me for the college courses I’m going to take. With all of its benefits it is definitely worth the time, even for all of the other courses.

I took there culinary program and got lots of practical experience and learned plenty of good data about how to cook. I will admit I'm not quite gonna be walking out and going into a fine dining head chef job walking out but a very good starting place and the teachers are very competent in the kitchen. The only reason I don't give it 5 is due to there wasn't quite as much time spent on practicing specific arts and techniques in culinary. We covered a day or two on plating, a day or two on steak, day it two on sea food, but didn't get to really dive in on any subject. Instead many days students were making recipes and things for events the school put on or for the kiosk to sell to students since it's what helped keep the culinary program running and we could keep getting food to cook with so I don't blame them. I just wish we got to do a little more class practicing on things (like more practice cooking sea food, making higher end foods, etc) over all a great place for a high school program and excellent start for anyone who wants to learn how to cook and to get the basics before pursuing a college education in culinary and baking arts.
