Endorsement letters for our Certified Chef's Programme
To A.C.F., I would like to make a comment about the Certified Chef programme/examination. I think that this is a fantastic way to attain and clarify credibility within this industry. I found that the examination was very thorough and extensive and that the questions were excellent in terms of what a certified chef should know and very relevant to today’s kitchens. The operation of the examination was very easy to get into. I found that at the end of the test, that I had 2 minutes 50 seconds only left, but I think that that also is testimony to the depth of the questionnaire. Many thanks for facilitating this course, and if I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Regards, |
Dear George I would like to thank you and the ACF National on having the initiative to put the ‘ Certified Program ‘ together, there has been a lot of thought and process gone into establishing this system that will benefit not only the chefs of Australia, but also the mangers and future employers of these chefs. I am probably in a good situation to comment on the ACF’s program, as I was the original chef for WAC’s that did their pilot program back in December 2005. The Australian program I found to be challenging in a number of ways, in regards to the knowledge require in not only the culinary field, but also the administration strain of the program. The final assignment was a challenge and made you open your mind and gave you the opportunity to test yourself to see how much you do actually know. With out giving too much away to my fellow colleagues, the question were fair with some of them I did not know, and had a guess at, but more importantly were more relevant to our part of the world without having to convert into US on liquid measurements and American term. I recommend to all ACF members and chefs in general to take the challenge and probably do as I did and test yourself on the Culinary Quiz first, just to get the hang of answer questions in a short time frame. George, I take my hat off to you ( yes I still wear one ) and also the ACF National and on this great program. Kind regards Rick Stephen |
