Are there certain certification exams restaurant workers need?
Asked by nikki
I am trying to figure out what, if any special courses you will need in the restaurant field as you move up the ladder from server to assistant manager to general manager to sous-chef to executive chef and then finally restaurant manager? Any help would be appreciated!

Best Answer:
for sous-chef and executive chef you will need culinary degree for general manager many now want at least a bachelors degree in business as well as the work experience in the industry. many want a hospitality degree which covers the business side as well as operations. there is info at these sites to help you plan: chefs- http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos161.htm rest mgmt- http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos024.htm National Restaurant Association offers numerous certifications from alcohol servers certification to serve-safe for food prep to management skills there site is: http://www.restaurant.org/
