Testimonial

I choose to study Food Tech studies at BCIT because I wanted to utilize both my past educational experience in sciences and my interest in cooking. As with most programs at BCIT the practical labs were the most enjoyable aspect but I also really enjoyed the Product Development course in second year, which is what I am aiming for late in my career.
