Worldchefs Certified Judging Levels Expanded to Support Skills Development

Worldchefs Certified Judging Levels Expanded to Support Skills Development

  • The Worldchefs Culinary Committee has expanded Worldchefs Certified Judge levels to support the highest standards in culinary competitions and juries.
  • The new model provides additional opportunities for skills development in culinary competition judging.
  • Worldchefs Certified Judges will be issued updated Worldchefs’ certificates and digital badges matched to their new judging level. Individuals are encouraged to update their Worldchefs online profile for the most up-to-date information on the Worldchefs Certified Judge Directory.

Paris, 6 of July 2021 – The Worldchefs Culinary Competition Committee (CCC) has expanded Worldchefs Certified Judge levels to support the highest standards in culinary competitions and juries. The new model has been developed as part of the CCC’s mission to advance standards of excellence built on professionalism, leadership, and collaboration.

“The whole idea of the change was to modernize our approach to every changing aspect of the culinary world,” says Rick Stephen, Worldchefs Culinary Committee Chairman. “Keeping up with food and the world standards and the new challenges that face all food-related competitions with hygiene and food waste been paramount.”

The new levels will provide additional opportunities for skills development in culinary competition judging. Worldchefs Certified Judges can progress through the judging levels over the course of their career and culinary competition experience to reflect their commitment and expertise in the field.

The Culinary Committee has taken a dynamic approach to incorporate mentorship and peer learning into the new model. A Learner Judge-or Rookie Judge-level has been introduced to advance the future of juries, encouraging competitions around the globe to take a more active role in supporting the new guard of international competition standards.

“We envisage the opportunity to feature more traditional cuisines from our members’ regions and countries, but also to have these cuisines on the international stage and be judged by experts in that style of cuisine,” says Stephen.

Complete information on the application process and requirements to become a Worldchefs Certified Judge can be found here. A brief outline of the new judging levels is as follows:

  1. Rookie / Learner Judge: Qualifying candidates with the necessary endorsements can serve at a Rookie / Learner Judge level. Proof of participation as a Rookie / Learner Judge at Worldchefs Endorsed Competitions can be used as supporting documents in applications for all Worldchefs Certified Judge levels.
  2. Sponsored Judge: Qualified chefs recognized as experts from a reputable company or institution can serve at a Sponsored Judge level. Sponsored Judges are mentored by a Worldchefs Certified Judge prior to any event.
  3. Worldchefs Certified Regional Judge: The Worldchefs Certified Regional Judge level is designed for culinary competition jurors with a local scope, not just limited to regional, but also international regions where your language or cuisine may be featured. This is a stepping stone to the next level.
  4. Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge: The Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge level represents mid-level culinary professionals with some judging experience, including competitors with silver medal performance and/or a minimum of two years in a high-end restaurant environment. The Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge level has replaced the former B Judge level.
  5. Worldchefs Certified International Judge: The Worldchefs Certified International Judge level represents senior-level culinary professionals with advanced judging experience, including competitors with silver medal performance and/or a minimum of five years in a high-end restaurant environment. The Worldchefs Certified International Judge level has replaced the former A Judge level. The new rules also allow for Worldchefs Certified International Judges to serve as observer judges.
  6. Worldchefs Honorary / Life Judge: The Worldchefs Honorary / Life Judge level is awarded by the Worldchefs President for outstanding contributions to Worldchefs and competition programs. Recipients must be in good standing as a Worldchefs Certified Judge at any level.

Additional requirements for specialized credentials still apply for applications to judging categories, which now include: Culinary Arts & Hot Kitchen, Pastry Arts, Carving, Community Catering, and Vegan/Plant-Based Cuisine.

Current Worldchefs Certified Judges will be issued updated Worldchefs’ certificates and digital badges matched to their new judging level. Individuals are encouraged to update their Worldchefs online profile to ensure the most up-to-date information on the Worldchefs Certified Judge Directory.

From the Worldchefs Certified Judges Directory competition organizers, competitors, and colleagues can contact Worldchefs Certified Judge via their custom profile on Worldchefs online community platform.

    Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisors and Arabic Pre-Commis Chef Course in the News

    Introducing the Worldchefs Academy and Its Advisors

    Amro Al Yassin, Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisor, VP of Emirates Culinary Guild (Dubai) and General Secretary of the Syrian Culinary Guild, and Jihan Sahawneh, Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisor and Culinary Facilitator at the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts (Jordan), explain how Worldchefs Academy is helping young talents in their culinary journeys.

    The Worldchefs Academy online portal and mobile app was established in 2018. How did the idea come about?
    Worldchefs Academy was created to give aspiring chefs the chance to learn the basics in culinary arts — no matter their background or skills set — and to help culinary professionals review the basics and keep up to date with international standards. Offering interactive lessons and training videos, the free-of-charge Pre-Commis Chef Course is a great way to prepare for life in a professional kitchen. Participants can learn through the web-based platform or via the mobile app. Soon, they will even be able to download the courses and study at their own convenience.
    Since 2018, 20,000 students have enrolled, and 5,000 students have graduated from the academy.

    Amro Al Yassin, Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisor 

    What does the curriculum cover?
    The Pre-Commis Chef Course can be followed as a complete curriculum, while individual lessons compliment other existing courses or provide theoretical components to culinary apprenticeships. Participants must put their knowledge to the test as they progress through the courses. Once they pass the final assessment, they receive a Worldchefs Academy certificate and a digital badge that shows potential employers that they are ready for the job.

    How is this program linked to the Worldchefs Certification?
    Worldchefs Academy graduates are equipped with a Pre-Commis Chef certificate and a digital badge – an important prerequisite for anyone looking to apply for employment in a professional kitchen. Graduates with three years’ work experience under a supervising professional chef can apply for Worldchefs Global Culinary Certification as a Worldchefs Certified Professional Cook (Commis Chef). The Pre-Commis Chef Course helps aspiring chefs take their first steps toward a culinary career. Worldchefs is also launching Approved Courses, with training and learning programs provided by world-renowned institutions. Culinary professionals can find the best courses in hospitality to suit their ambitions and boost their careers.

    Jihan Sahawneh, Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisor

    What more can you tell us?
    Adding to the lineup of free courses available for our global community, the Arabic Pre-Commis Chef Course has recently been added to the English, Spanish and Portuguese library. With the help of our partners, Nestlé Professional and Pro Gastronomia Foundation, and our language advisors and chef volunteers, Worldchefs Academy is also developing the Pre-Commis Chef Course in Italian, German and Mandarin, which is set to launch in 2021.
    The Worldchefs Academy mobile app can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play and our website.

    IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

    IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

    Originally published 03/04/21

    On 15 March 2021, the IDX_FS International Digital Food Service Expo powered by INTERNORGA (IDX_FS Expo), the digital industry event for the catering, foodservice and hotel industries, will get underway. One week before the start of the three-day digital format, the three partners and organisers – INTERNORGA, IDX Events GmbH and the Institute of Culinary Art – as well as a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board, explain in an online press conference the current situation amid an ongoing pandemic, the special features and highlights of the event, and the relevance of digital events. The focus is on the varied programme, presented from three stages in Cologne and Hamburg. In addition to an innovative, virtual platform with 100 exhibitors and partners, the IDX_FS Expo will present a series of top-class speakers, well-known competitions and award ceremonies, as well as new formats.

    The IDX_FS Expo from 15 to 17 March 2021 will create an industry format that is intended to encourage people, especially in times of ongoing uncertainty. ‘The entire trade fair industry was severely restricted by the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, however, it has also led to new food for thought and significantly accelerated digitalisation. The IDX_FS Expo is not only an absolute must for all those involved in the foodservice and hospitality market, but also sets new benchmarks when it comes to digital approaches to trade fairs,’ says Bernd Aufderheide, Chairman of the Management Board of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.

    Three exciting days of inspiration, food for thought and pioneering trends await attendees from the catering, foodservice and hotel industries. Claudia Johannsen, Division Manager at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, sees the IDX_FS Expo as a strong signal to the industry and is looking forward to an inspiring and lively event: ‘For decades, INTERNORGA has been a hotbed of new trends and fresh impetus, and is known as a high-quality platform for the entire foodservice and hospitality market. We are thrilled that in this unusual year, with two great partners at our side, we are able to offer the entire foodservice and hospitality market a digital platform with the IDX_FS Expo that promises a varied supporting programme, as well as offering exhibitors and visitors opportunities to interact.’

    The aims of the industry event are: to connect national and international players from the fields of gastronomy, foodservice, catering and the hotel industry, as well as exhibitors and visitors, both digitally and virtually, and to stimulate exchange and networking. ‘That is unique,’ says Michael Buck, Managing Partner of IDX EVENTS GmbH, the technology and event company that is making the worldwide launch of the IDX_FS Expo possible with the help of a novel distribution platform. ‘We believe that this also provides great added value for all participants and attendees of the digital event. The event will motivate stakeholders in the industry to look positively to the future. Virtual formats will not disappear in the future, but the companies involved and all the rest of us can learn now how to navigate this new hybrid world. That is a great opportunity for learning and experimentation.’

    The Institute of Culinary Art (ICA), as sponsor of the trade fair, sees the digital exhibition approach for the entire foodservice and hospitality market as an opportunity to continue to do business successfully in the future and to redefine the value chain. ICA President Gerhard Bruder views the direct gathering of information as a particular source of added value: ‘The possibilities of digital mean visitors can find much of what they are looking for considerably faster. Depending on their interests, they can go straight to the food producers, and then, for example, to the checkout systems – without walking the long distances through the trade fair. They can immediately view the innovations there and interact directly via video.’

    MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. is an exhibitor and has been a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board for many years. Its CEO, Georg Weber, highlights the advantages from an exhibitor’s point of view: ‘Firstly, a participating company benefits from greater reach than at a physical event. The digital format is also used by people for whom travelling to a trade fair in person would be impossible or too expensive. This will significantly increase the potential number of participants in the event.’ Weber also emphasises that the format offers more wide-reaching opportunities: ‘We see the IDX_FS Expo as an opportunity to gain new digital experience and to use this platform for the exchange of expert knowledge beyond the boundaries of our field. We want to enter into dialogue with existing partners and potential customers and present our product highlights. Of course, we also can’t wait to meet and exchange ideas again in person at INTERNORGA in Hamburg. Nothing can replace that physical event.’

    Electrolux Professional acts for food support and sustainable cooking together with the Electrolux Food Foundation

    SWEDEN, 26th of February 2021 – Electrolux Professional is proud to announce the support of the Electrolux Food Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization that supports initiatives to inspire more sustainable food choices among professionals and consumers, and to support people in need in the communities around us.

    See original press release here.

    Since food is a major battleground in the fight against climate change, the foundation’s focus is well aligned with the Electrolux Professional commitment to contribute to change through its Sustainability Commitment, that supports the UN Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals.

    Niklas Lindsköld, Head of Sustainability at Electrolux Professional “Our support to the Electrolux Food Foundation is a natural step for our sustainability commitment. With our community of dedicated, professional chefs around the world, along with the involvement from the Worldchefs organization, we are uniquely positioned to support the initiatives and important messaging about the need for healthy food and sustainable cooking.”

    The Electrolux Food Foundation was established in 2016 focusing on supporting activities on food and related sustainability issues. The foundation brings employee initiatives to life by supporting them with funding and resources. In 2020 the foundation donated more than 800,000 meals around the world.

    “We are delighted that Electrolux Professional has decided to join up with us and support the Food Foundation. Our partners give us an edge and help us to be a force for good,” says Ingrid Mellstig, Head of Electrolux Food Foundation.

    The purpose is to inspire sustainable eating and cooking habits among consumers and professionals, and to support people in need through education and emergency relief efforts. The foundation supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for Responsible Consumption and Production (#12) and Global Partnership for Sustainable Development (#17).
