NKBA Accreditation - Overview



Now we are one of only 32 schools with that accreditation in North America.
Lakeland first earned full NKBA accreditation in 1999. This means Lakeland’s kitchen and bath curriculum met the educational standards established by the NKBA.

There is a student NKBA chapter on campus giving students an opportunity for professional development and networking while they're still in school. And, students who graduate from an NKBA accredited program are also uniquely qualified to earn an NKBA certification designation
NKBA student competitions have showcased both Lakeland’s program and students.
Lakeland currently has had students succeed in those competitions for 15 consecutive years.
See the NKBA competition page and feature stories for more about those wins.
