A culinary team building session is for a brand's own internal team (marketing, sales, customer service) building. A CPD program is for external industry chefs, working culinary professionals and food enthusiasts who will use, advocate for and recommend your product in their professional and personal work.
A standard ICCA CPD session accommodates 20-40 industry chefs. Larger programs can be delivered across multiple sessions. ICCA handles all logistics: participant invitation, confirmation, attendance tracking and certification, you provide the product, we handle the rest.
ICCA has successfully delivered CPD programs for ingredient brands, kitchen equipment manufacturers, food technology companies, FMCG suppliers, and hospitality groups. Any brand that markets to professional chefs, food enthusiasts, or culinary businesses, particularly those seeking chef advocacy and industry adoption, is well suited for an ICCA CPD program.
Yes. ICCA designs bespoke CPD programs around specific product categories — an ingredient, kitchen equipment, a beverage range or a food technology. ICCA's team works with your brand to develop training content, coordinate participant recruitment among the ICCA chef network, deliver the session and provide participant data and certification records.
Each chef who completes an ICCA CPD program is issued a blockchain-authenticated certificate and a digital badge via a verified credentialling platform. The credential is permanently recorded, tamper-proof and independently verifiable by employers, clients or industry bodies, significantly more credible than a standard printed certificate.
