CEC is a certification you can get through the ACF. They have everything from Culinarian to Master in hot food and pastry. So CEC means he took a written and practical exam from the American Culinary Federation. The only reason I know this is because my culinary school I attended was ACF accredited.
Almost Right. It means he paid a sh!t ton of money to take a test and practical exam to get his certification. I know the CMC is ridiculous $3800 for the exam fee and between $4000-$6000 for 8 day practical exam, equipment, dormitory room and board, food, travel expenses and supplies and that's whether you make it or not. One of the reasons so many amazing chefs don't go that route, It's not that they can't hack it, they can't afford it.
