ADVANCE YOUR CAREER, FIND A NEW FIELD

Let's Control It

If you serve or sell alcohol in Montana, you need to be able to recognize and prevent intoxication in others. This program is required for bartenders, owners, managers, servers, and bouncers. Learn to detect the signs of intoxication, intervene effectively to prevent any alcohol-related problems, and identify underage persons to help limit the access to alcohol for youth.

The “Let’s Control It” curriculum is a product of the Montana Department of Revenue and participants will receive a certificate of completion to present to employers.

Culinary Classes

Ideal for those who aspire to work in a great restaurant, cook fantastic meals at home, and everyone in between! Jennifer Beausoleil, a local Certified Executive Chef, shares her skills and knowledge with you! The classes will be broken down into several blocks of instruction, each focusing on a different method or skill for the kitchen. For each class, you will need to have most of the items listed in our “Culinary Toolkit” and several food items. You will be taking most of your completed projects home for you and your family to enjoy.

With a special emphasis on knife skills, this class is the real kickoff to get you thinking (and cooking) like a chef! Learn which knife to select, sharpening, basic vegetable cuts, some decorative cuts, safety and efficiency. You will also work with major household machinery, discuss and practice mise en place (the importance of preparation in cooking), and sanitation.

The basics and more! Perfect your gravies, cheese sauces and broths. We will construct from scratch and discuss the modern modifications that are often used in restaurants today.
