If you are a graduate of our Chef Training program and have met all of the prerequisites for our Professional Certification, you may apply to become a "Professional Chef and Instructor of Raw Culinary Arts" through Living Light Culinary Arts Institute.

The Raw Culinary Arts Professional Chef Certification is awarded to individuals who demonstrate creativity and expertise and who develop experience in every aspect of raw culinary arts, including kitchen management, food design, recipe and menu development, large event catering, pastry arts, and raw nutritional science. Students must have completed the Gourmet Raw Food Chef Certification Series, and are also required to complete all courses of study, including New Holiday Traditions, internships, externships, and coursework, followed by a comprehensive written and practical examination. Many students repeat the Associate Chef and Instructor Training as part of their internship program. Internships are designed for each candidate and are available to graduates of the Raw Culinary Arts Associate Chef and Instructor Certification.

This exam will be offered only once per year. For 2009, the professional chef exam dates are November 16-17. Your tuition of $990 includes a $200 non-refundable application fee, participation in "The New Holiday Traditions" class where you will be asked to participate in the Showcase of Instructors, and a 2-day hands-on Chef/Instructor skills exam, as well as a written test.
