“These chefs are dedicated to honing their craft. The CIA’s
ProChef Certification gives them a way to benchmark their
accomplishments,” says Certified Master Chef Brad Barnes, director
of CIA Consulting and Industry Programs. “We applaud Aramark for
continuing its commitment to chefs, food, and our profession.”
A three-tiered, comprehensive professional development and
culinary proficiency program, ProChef Certification measures a
chef’s core culinary, managerial and financial acumen, including
each graduate’s skill in flavor development, proper cooking
methods, dish profile authenticity, plating, use of ingredients and
sanitation.
“We commend the chefs who achieved ProChef certification and
applaud them for their tireless commitment to hone their craft,”
said Victor Crawford, Aramark Chief Operating Officer. “These chefs
join a long line of talented Aramark chefs who have achieved this
designation, since partnering with the CIA ten years ago, and we
thank them for continuing to deliver on Aramark’s mission of
enriching and nourishing the lives of our students, customers,
clients and consumers.”
The ProChef Certification program was created by the CIA to
provide hands-on skill validation, recognize professional
achievement and give knowledge and credentials to advance chefs’
careers. The program features three levels of intensive training
with ProChef III being the highest, most prestigious designation.
Certification from the CIA provides the ultimate stamp of approval
in the culinary world.
