Certified Culinary Professional — CCP

The lapel pin shows Level III but first this is level 1, knowledge that does not involve actual cooking. Once you complete this you can continue to the hands-on cooking in Level III. Culinary principles, skills and methods are emphasized including knife skills, terminology, principles of meat cookery. Without this demonstrated knowledge cooks and cannot advance in their careers or get to the point where they can demonstrate their cooking ability. Levels II - III are hands-on through our Rouxbe affiliation.
