Working chefs return to school for CIA/AFC certification

Nation's Restaurant News, Sept 18, 2006

HYDE PARK, N.Y. -- Nearly a dozen professional chefs are scheduled to take exams next month at The Culinary Institute of America here to obtain ProChef certification from the CIA and the American Culinary Federation.

In preparing for the exams, the chefs will learn about the latest trends in world cuisine and technological advances, said CIA spokesman Jay Blotcher. The three-day exam will be held Oct. 2-5 at the CIA's Hyde Park campus.

Nearly 200 chefs have obtained the certification since the CIA and the ACF launched the program three years ago.
