Culinary Arts Certificates online that draw attention

Hi, Looking for the above for someone that already has the degree but needs some resume with some excitement. Thanks. Hille

 

I'd suggest trying the American Culinary Federation's CEU page. It's updated often, and every now and again you'll find online classes. If this person doesn't already have a certification, I'd suggest completing the 30 hour Nutrition, 30 hour Sanitation, and 30 hour Supervision requirements and go for culinary certification. All 3 are offered online at any number of schools (as CEUs) or at any NA/RA college for credit.

Oh, and seriously, THE way to add excitement to a culinary resume is working somewhere/for someone famous. James Beard winners are a plus.

 

Hi Jennifer, Wish the James Beard option could happen. Daughter already has some certs from Cornells e-college but needs something with a huge name recognition factor. First resumes will go out next week but it will be an ongoing process. Thanks. Hille

 

It's not too late to do a job shadow. Seriously, I don't know where she lives, but call the restaurant and ask the chef if she can come shadow for a week. I've required this of my students for years. In my experience, if she asks the right person and has enthusiasm she's got a 75% chance that they'd say yes. I've had students in excellent restaurants under excellent chefs- names you'd know.

This isn't an education-valued industry, it's a work-valued industry. I can't imagine a chef who'd be impressed with an eCornell cert. Sorry.
