Visit with Paul Germain in the AICD exhibit at the
2008 ACF National Convention in Las Vegas
on July 15 and 16


As a corporate member and supporter of the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS), AICD's training programs have been developed to not only meet the needs of the culinary and commercial ice carving industries, but also help chefs fulfill the professional growth requirements associated with earning advanced certification from ACF.

Certificates indicating the number of hours of training successfully completed at AICD are provided to assist AICD graduates with the documentation needed for continuing education hours and professional development units for ACF certification levels. As part of our alumni services, we are happy to provide any additional documentation that graduates may need for their particular circumstances.

In addition to serving the needs of culinary students and chefs, AICD also provides specialized curriculum guidance and training for culinary educators who desire to teach the advance techniques of professional ice carvers.
