Restaurants Certification and Accreditation Scheme

Recent research by Restaurant & Catering Australia has determined the skills necessary for operating a successful restaurant business. It is likely that you possess a number of these skills but may not have formal recognition for them.

Restaurant & Catering Australia now provides restaurateurs with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are part of the ranks of professionals by helping them receive certification for their skills and subsequently allowing them to apply for accreditation for their individual businesses. The certification process will assist in setting an industry standard for 'Certified Professional Restaurateurs'. The letters CPR can be used after an individual's name. Once you are accredited, you can then apply to have your business accredited.
