Common questions about hospitality

What are the ACF chef certification tiers?

The ACF ladder runs Certified Culinarian (CC), Certified Sous Chef (CSC), Certified Chef de Cuisine (CCC), Certified Executive Chef (CEC), and Certified Master Chef (CMC). Each tier requires documented experience hours and a written and practical exam.

How does cosmetology licensure work in 2026 across states?

The National-Interstate Council coordinates examinations; individual state boards license. Hours-of-training requirements vary by discipline (cosmetology, esthetics, lash) and by state. NIC publishes the inter-state framework that most state boards adopt.
