Certificate of Proficiency in Italian Cuisine: winter session
Certificate of Proficiency in Italian Cuisine: winter session
18-26 February 2013
We’ve only just ended the autumn session of the Certificate of Proficiency in Italian Cuisine (C.P.I.C.) and it’s already time to open admission to the winter session, which will run from February 18-26, 2013.
Chefs from all over the world will apply their knowledge of Italian cuisine during a week of cooking courses, refining their already professional experience in the preparation of dishes that have made the Italian cuisine renowned the world over.
At the end of the preparatory course, one or two days of an exam period tests the chefs on the experience they gained in their years as Italian chefs abroad, as well as on what they learn at Academia Barilla. In passing the exam, they become ambassadors of real Italian cuisine in the world.
The exam consists of a theoretical portion to test knowledge of typical Italian products, and a practical portion, where each chef prepares a typical and traditional Italian menu.
Don’t miss out! Sign up today to become an ambassador of real Italian cuisine in the world.
