Hello. Yes, but you have to apply for the first-level exam, and you cannot directly apply for the senior technician exam. First apply for junior chef (level 5), then apply for intermediate chef (level 4). Then apply for senior chef (level 3), then apply for chef technician (level 2), and finally apply for senior chef technician (level 1). If you do not improve your academic qualifications, you will have to have at least 30 years of service before you have the opportunity to apply for the senior technician (Level 1) exam. If you provide academic qualifications, your service experience can be greatly shortened. Generally speaking, the requirements for chefs are relatively low. He does not need to have a high degree of education. He can also be an apprentice after graduating from junior high school. In particular, you can go to a vocational high school or, after graduating from junior high school, go to a vocational middle school to learn to be a chef. This is also a good choice. The academic requirements for learning to be a chef are not that high. Junior high school students can also learn. If you are young, you can work as a part-time job in a large restaurant to learn, or you can go to some formal chef schools to learn. You can learn to be a chef with a junior high school degree. In general skills training schools, as long as you pay the tuition, you can learn, so the same goes for chefs. Of course you can learn to be a chef with a junior high school degree. As long as you love cooking and want to learn a skill, you can sign up to learn. There are some professional chef training schools where you can get academic qualifications while learning skills, which is quite good. Taking the exam for a chef level certificate only requires skills and does not require academic qualifications. To apply for a junior chef certificate, you need to have completed the required standard number of formal training hours in this profession and obtain a graduation (completion) certificate; have been continuously working as a trainee in this profession for more than 2 years; and have completed the apprenticeship period in this profession.
