Hi Becca, great question. The beauty of this is that it CAN be related to other services. Some sell cookware/knives, demos on appliances, cooking demos or cooking classes for like Williams-Sonoma, pampered chefs etc. Personal training is very likely too. As far as nutrition counseling, I don't know if that would fall into the scopes of a dietician...so special education with credentials may be needed. We do have a member that is a certified dietician & then became a personal chef, that did both.
Hi, NESTA offers certified training in nutrition counseling and personal trainer. Both will help with what you asked I am not trying to push another website, just an anser to ya question.
What a surprise. I went to the NESTA site to check it out, and lo and behold I start reading and am reading word for word, the description of the APCA materials, and guess what else. I just love seeing "the business of being a personal chef" and the audio and CD's on "A Day in the Life of personaL chef". Don't people recognize the COPYRIGHT sign on the training materials or do they just not care?
Guess what else? The "chef instructor" is a former member of APCA. One whom we trained, encouraged, mentored and coached. I spent a lot of time working with this "chef instructor" who never bothered to tell us she planned to waltz off with our materials and start her own little program (that happened once earlier as well as many of you already know). What an interesting way to say thank you. I guess the nice folks at NESTA will be hearing from us shortly since our materials are copyrighted and protected. It's sad when people can't behave and they think that stealing someone else's hard work is Okay. This "chef" doesn't even use her full name on the website. She probably thought we wouldn't recognize her. Wrong.
