A Tough Day at the Office
February 25, 2013
The last day of the test is always the toughest one to take. And unfortunately is the most enduring one of all. Although the candidates did not successfully complete their exam they have wonderful potential to come back and retake the exam in the near future.
Sadly, no additional CMC's were added at the end of the exam today. Our heartfelt thanks to both Chefs Baxter and Kampff for representing ACF so well. The greatest thing about attaining your CMC is the basic skills you learn from day one to view a ready to take the exam.
The main fundamentals of the exam are you demonstrating your mastery of your craft and your understanding of all the different concepts of cooking both nationally and internationally. Which these great chefs set out to do so good luck to our upcoming certified master pastry chef exam in August and I hope to see these great chefs back and finished their journey to become CMC.
The new challenges that are always going to be is the nurturing of new candidates. And this is going to be the challenge of all the CMC's in the next five years because if we do not develop the talent that is needed to keep this crucial certification standard all will be lost. So that is my challenge for the next five years to nurture to teach and develop the next generation of certified master chefs.
