Does anybody know how difficult it is to get to be a Certified Executive Chef (CEC) through ACF?

I know there are education and experience requirements, which I meet, but what I'm curious about is the written and practical tests. Currently I'm not even a member of ACF, which I guess I'd have to do first, but that's another story :-).

You posted this a long time ago but i was reading through some of them. I took the csc exem last year. I accualy had to take the test twice because i missed it by 1 question. So that was $75 down the hole. On the ACF website i think they tell you somewhere what catagories are on the test and a percentage of that kind of questions. Like Sanitation 10%, basic cooking skills 20%. I would defenetly buy the pretest so you don't get robbed like me.
I got to by-pass the practical exam because i won a gold medal in an ACF approved compettion. If you win a silver or gold you don't have to take the test. I hope this helps and it is not to late.

Thank you and no, it's not too late. I'm still interested in taking the test at some point, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
