I know ya'll have probably heard all this before but here is my situation

I work full time in a job outside of the kitchen. I work in a kitchen on the weekends and am fortunate enough to get paid for it, although I did offer to stage

I want to eventually move up in the culinary world once I go full time which will hopefully be within the next 6 months. The issue is that I can't swing culinary school. It just isn't a possiblity that I can entertain

Receiving certification as a culinarian is something that does interest me so I have been looking at joining the ACF as a member. They appear to have a fairly good chapter here and the ACF main office is also here where I live

Can someone advise as to the pros and cons of belonging to the ACF. Does it truly help you achieve potential advancement in the field

If any of you here are certified or have been certified can you advise me as to how it has helped you

What are the odds of me being able to achieve certification without any formal culinary education? Basically doing all of this on my own

Any advise you can provide would be greatly appreciated

Thank
Joe
