I am very curious about your position in the requirements that a Certified Culinary Educator (CCE) must be degreed. I have been a full time teacher in Florida for over 15 years. As an Industrial Vocational Educator, I am not required to have a degree. I understand that the ACF is trying to up the credentials of its certification program however, in my school district alone we have 5 chefs that are full time teachers with teaching certificates but cannot certify as a CCE. I think this policy is wrong. What is your opinion?
