The WORLDCHEFS certification scheme is very good for Chefs when we have to employ cooks from all over the world as a result of the globalisation of the industry.

I like the international nature of the scheme: WORLDCHEFS is the global voice for the industry and it is wholly appropriate that they have developed a scheme which can benefit the industry globally.

I welcome the launch of the certification scheme as it allows chefs around the world, no matter where they work, to get their skills and experience recognised by WORLDCHEFS.„
