Preparation before going abroad
Chefs need to have certain qualifications before going abroad. First of all, you need to have a chef qualification certificate and a certain professional and technical level, which is the most basic premise. At present, most countries have a certain threshold for chefs, and different countries have different requirements for chefs' grades, work experience and age. General requirements are as follows:
1, most of them will be between 28 and 45 years old, and some chefs with better conditions can be appropriately relaxed to around 50 years old;
2. Passport: Passport needs to be processed in advance, and the processing cycle is about two weeks. At present, passports are basically required to be processed at the location of the account. If you have a work residence permit in Beijing, you can apply in different places in Beijing;
3. The chef qualification certificate (chef certificate) should be obtained in advance. The supervision of the chef's license exam is getting stricter and stricter, and the exam cannot be advanced. It takes three years for the junior exam to take the intermediate certificate, and three years for the intermediate exam to take the advanced certificate. Many people are refused to go abroad because they don't have the corresponding chef qualification, so chefs who plan to go abroad must pay attention to making relevant preparations in advance;
4. Be a chef for at least 6 years, and 6 years working experience is the first requirement. Some countries will require a senior chef qualification certificate. According to the advanced time of chef certificate, you need to be a chef for at least 8 years;
In addition to the chef's grade certificate, many countries also need a technician's certificate, which is as important as the chef's certificate. A chef with a technician's certificate will get a higher salary. Chefs who need to go abroad must pay attention to understanding and obtaining relevant documents in advance;
6. Language requirements: Chinese restaurants abroad will have lower language requirements, because most of them are in Chinese areas, and it is generally enough to communicate in Mandarin. But Cantonese restaurants generally need to know Cantonese. If you go to some high-end restaurants, you need to know the local language;
