To
train you only on boxed beef would prepare you in skills used solely in
processing counter ready meats. By using railed beef, you learn the primal
cuts (where boxed beef originates) which sharpens your cutting skills in
deboning carcasses at an increasing rate of productivity without injury.
This generic approach has proven most successful and this gives you the
confidence and hope of reaching your personal goal.
All theory work is done at home allowing more time for hands-on practice. Weekly tests are re-written as often as the trainee would like in order to upgrade his knowledge and marks. This is well appreciated by students who have low memorization skills. Some trainees could be called to acquire practical skills for a few days at local stores. Most of your time is spent in cutting; beef, pork, poultry, lamb and preparing meat for retail. However, a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher will make you understand profit and loss, waste management, tax, merchandising, practical business applications, costing, pricing, inventory control, sanitation and preparing meats for curing or smoking. The course runs 40hrs per week in shop. The province will credit you
with 620 hrs on a 4000 hour program.
