ProChef® Certification. Your Success Credential.

Challenge yourself and stretch your skills. Make the industry take notice of your expertise. Move your career forward. Whatever your personal and professional goals, ProChef Certification can help you achieve them. Combining hands-on training, an approach to learning that's both stimulating and supportive, and the flexibility to work only on the skills you need to, the ProChef Certification program is perfect for busy foodservice professionals. And when you're done, you'll have not only a valuable new credential—you'll have a whole new outlook on what it means to be a professional chef.

The Ultimate Stamp of Approval
The ProChef Certification program was created by The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), the world's premier culinary college to provide hands-on skill validation, recognize professional achievement, and give you the knowledge and credentials to advance your career. Certification from the CIA provides the ultimate stamp of approval.


Certification at Three Levels

ProChef Certification acknowledges your proficiency in culinary arts, personnel management, and financial administration at three levels, each supporting a specific stage in your career. After successfully completing each level, you will receive a certificate from the CIA. Which level of ProChef Certification is right for you?

Advice and Counsel
As a ProChef program participant, you'll develop a valuable peer relationship with a CIA faculty member. Your ProChef advisor will work with you to develop a custom professional development plan, coach you through the certification process, and offer valuable career insight along the way.

Self-assessments and Courses
We want you to succeed. So our ProChef Self-assessments and courses help prepare you for the certification exam. Working with your advisor, you choose which and how many courses to take, from one or two to the multi-week ProChef Immersion programs. Or if you're comfortable that you already have the knowledge and skills for Level I or Level II certification, you can go straight to the exam.

How to Get Started
The first step in earning ProChef Certification is to submit an application. As soon as you provide us with your information, our chefs will review your application, begin e-mail correspondence with you, and assign your ProChef advisor. The two of you will begin to collaborate before you even set foot on campus. Once your professional development plan is designed, you're well on your way.
