What licenses and certificates are required to become a chef?

Answer 1

At the very basic level, most culinary arts colleges require a GED and/or a high school graduation certificate and transcripts to be able to qualify for entrance into their schools.

You will need to have a strong desire to work long hours standing on your feet, like to cook, be somewhat artistic and desire to manage others in order to move up in the ranks. The culinary arts profession is a challenging one. It is also very expensive to attend a culinary arts school so it is important to make sure you find out what the college's placement success rate is and for what types of positions. You will not want to put in months or years of efforts only to find out that you cannot get a decent job that will earn you enough to live on.

This is a great field for someone who is highly motivated and truly enjoys preparing some amazing foods. You can become a top chef somewhere in the world if you work hard and choose your school wisely. :)

Hope this helps you.
