He was articled to Thomas Graham Abercrombie in 1897, concurrently studying at the Technical School and School of Design, Paisley. He commenced independent practice in the same town in either 1902 or 1904 (there being a discrepancy between the dates he gives on his two sets of RIBA nomination papers) and became a partner of James Craig Barr, a fellow apprentice of Abercrombie's, in the latter year. In 1918 this partnership was dissolved and the following year Cook went into partnership with Andrew Hamilton, who had been principal assistant in Thomas Graham Abercrombie's office, where Cook had served his apprenticeship; the new firm name was Cook & Hamilton.
