U.S. Military Certification Program
Military culinary professionals serve our country’s service
members. Feeding an Army
American Culinary Federation certifications are not determined by
title or rank but by knowledge and skills. The culinary training and
work experience gained in the military may qualify you for one or more
ACF certification designations. Based on your educational background and
work experience, you can find a certification
designation that complements your experience. Learn about the certification
process.
