There has always been confusion and a lack of awareness regarding overseas education opportunities. Many students remain unaware of fully funded scholarship programs in different countries. Additionally, some consultancy agencies do not promote these programs as they do not offer significant financial incentives, leading to critical information being overlooked.

What is Culinary ID?
Culinary ID is a unique certification program launched by ACOHI (Asian Countries Chamber of Hospitality Industry). It is designed for individuals, institutions, and corporates working or aspiring to work in the hospitality sector.
This identification process verifies various aspects of an institution, such as its address, service domain, director credentials, and past performance. Once an institution meets all the required criteria, it is awarded a Culinary ID, which remains valid for one year and can be renewed based on service quality and performance.
Previously, many individuals and institutions entered the hospitality industry without proper background verification, affecting service standards and quality. However, with the introduction of Culinary ID, the industry is now more organized, disciplined, and standardized.
> “Culinary ID is a prestigious recognition in the hospitality industry across India and Asia. It serves as a mark of credibility and excellence for individuals, service providers, corporates, brands, and institutions,” stated ACOHI representatives.
This initiative is expected to streamline hospitality education and career opportunities, ensuring Indian students can access global learning experiences and build successful careers in the international hospitality industry.
