Professional Examination (BP): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how experienced chefs in Switzerland can earn an advanced professional title and how to claim a 50% refund on your training costs.

Who it's for
This examination is designed for professional chefs who have already gained several years of practical experience in the kitchen.
What you get
By passing the examination, you receive an advanced professional title. This certification recognizes your high level of skill and can help you progress in your culinary career.
What it costs you
You will need to pay for your course fees. However, the federal government will refund 50% of these costs to help make the training more accessible.
