QUESTION 23 OF 30

What food safety courses or certifications do you possess?

Pastry chefs are required to get their food handlers license, which is a quick training course you can take online. You can also become a Certified Executive Pastry Chef through the American Culinary Federation. Depending upon your goals and where you want to work, you may want to find out about the standards you need to meet. Before your interview, do a little research to find out more about the qualifications and any certifications they may require.

"I am proud to say my previous bakery passed all previous health inspections with flying colors. Food safety is a top priority when dealing with food. I am well-versed in the health department's requirements and have passed the necessary food safety courses, like the Food Handler Certification and Serve Safe Certification."

Rachelle's Feedback

Good! If applicable, be sure to address if this certification expires, needs renewal, or is valid indefinitely. If you were provided with a physical card or other proof of certification, be ready to provide this during your interview process.
