About the Australian Institute of TechnicalChefs Inc. (AITC):
The Australian Institute of TechnicalChefs Inc. (AITC) is a not for profit organisation of
professional commercial chefs established in early 2016 by a group of contemporary chefs who
are concerned with the direction of the commercial cookery industry, including the growing
number of people in the media and industry who fraudulently claim to be, or are misleadingly
identified as a chef.
AITC is an Australia wide registration institution that aims to protect the status of being a
professional commercial chef (or in a career that emanated from being a commercial chef).
An association that verifies and licenses professionals to use a logo to demonstrate they are a
professional commercial chef, or a “TechnicalChef”.
The institute has been established on professional standards and conditions of association
normally required by organisations that represent a professional discipline. Combining
stringent formal training certification with substantial commercial experience, the Institute
additionally targets professionals who are aware and practice their ethical obligations as
identified in Codes of Practice, and as a precondition for continued membership, agree to the
Institute’s expectations of continued self - development.
As a long term vision, AITC aims to be a catalyst to lift commercial cookery and proven
commercial chefs to a genuine professional level and discipline.
