Catering Professional

Catering has evolved into an experience-driven service industry that blends hospitality, logistics, team management, design aesthetics, marketing, and compliance. This online catering course will help you build skills to coordinate complex events, produce safe, consistent food at scale, and adapt your offerings across weddings, corporate events, and social functions.

You will progress through seven scaffolded modules, reinforced by applied case studies and module quizzes to learn the foundational skills you need to succeed in the high-demand and rewarding catering and events industry. From event and function management to collaborating with other catering services, you will be able to plan and execute successful food preparation and beverage management requirements with ease—while differentiating through sustainability and technology-enabled operations.

This online catering training program will also teach you best practices for marketing your catering business, provide insights into contract preparation and execution, and cover effective human resource management and basic accounting principles. Your catering training culminates in a final exam and a capstone project which requires a complete, client-ready catering plan from concept through service execution.

Upon successful course completion, you will be fully prepared to pass the Certified Professional in Catering and Events (CPCE) exam offered by the National Association for Catering and Events (NACE) and earn your CPCE certification.
