The Program
With the support of WACS Gold Sponsor,
Custom Culinary, expert chefs from selected
countries are invited to another country where
they share their knowledge and cuisine
through a series of lectures, demonstrations and
hands-on skill development workshops.
These lessons and workshops are presented to
culinary teachers, students and local chefs so
that the knowledge shared can be passed on for
years to come.
WACS Train the Trainer seeks to plant the
seeds of knowledge today that will help shape
the culinary industry for years to come.
The Mission
The purpose of the WACS Train the Trainer
Program is to educate and train the future
chefs of the world, and expose them to the fine
art of world cuisine. Chefs who are experts in
their field, with specializations that are hard to
find, share their knowledge and experiences
with culinary educators in their host country
who share their passion for quality cuisine. The
teachers then are able to teach the same lessons
to young cooks and chefs for years to come.
Demonstrations/Lectures
And Hands-On lessions
Each WACS Train the Trainer event offers a wide range of educational opportunities for
local teachers, students and professional chefs. Demonstrations, lectures and hands-on
cooking and baking lessons are customized to meet the needs and wants of the local market.
Topics can include international and classical cuisine; international baking and pastry; food
safety and hygiene; HACCP; sustainability, and almost any other major topic of concern of
professional cooks and chefs around the world.
Expert Chefs
WACS members volunteer their time and expertise in support of the Train the Trainer
Program; eager to share their expertise and passion with fellow cooks and chefs
around the world.
Applications to become a WACS Expert Chef can also be found on the WACS web site.
