Certification Information Session

March 24 / 4pm - 5pm ET

Are You Certifiable? 

Every baker’s learning journey is unique, but strong foundational skills are essential for professional success. The Bread Bakers Guild of America’s Certification Program was created to help bakers build, refine, and measure these core competencies. 

Join recently certified bakers and judges for an inside look at the process. Learn what to expect, how to prepare, and why challenging yourself through certification can be a powerful step in your career. 

Our next practical exam will take place October 24–26, 2026, at Washburne Culinary & Hospitality Institute in Chicago, IL. 

Panelists include: 

Ciril Hitz, CBB, CVB, CMAB, Judge 

John Sybert, CBB 

Solveig Tofte, CBB, CVB, CMAB, Judge  

Rachel Wyman, CBB, CVB 

Hosted by Wai Chu, Bread Bakers Guild of America
