Certificate Plaques indicating the number of hours of training successfully completed at AICD are provided to assist graduates with the documentation needed for continuing education hours and professional development units often required by teacher credential programs and distinguished professional associations such as the World Association of Chefs Societies, the American Culinary Federation and the National Ice Carving Association. As part of our alumni services, we are happy to provide any additional documentation that graduates may need for their particular circumstances.

AICD's Lifetime Certification Guarantee:

Due to AICD's proven "hands on" approach to comprehensive instruction and its stature as a private school, you can earn each level of AICD Certification for life with no certification fees, no yearly fees, and no membership requirements.

To maintain the integrity of AICD's educational programs, activities such as attendance at conventions, competitions, and related activities cannot be counted for receiving AICD Certification. A carver's unique experiences may, however, qualify as the prerequisite for enrolling in AICD's advanced instructional programs.
