To provide aspiring chefs with the opportunity to enhance their technical skills and professional knowledge, and to obtain internationally recognised credentials in European cuisine, the International Culinary Institute (ICI) in Hong Kong has partnered with the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) to administer the Western Cuisine Trade Test for in-service chefs to obtain a EU recognised professional qualification in Western cuisine.
The award presentation ceremony was held at ICI on 19 August and 29 in-service chefs qualified as Trainer Chef (4 chefs) and Certified Chef (25 chefs). Julian Kauke, Vice Consul, Culture and Press Affairs, German Consulate General Hong Kong, was guest of honour at the ceremony.
