Electrolux Professional hosts CFSP course led by Keith Warren
Abstract
The latest CFSP (Certified Food Service Professional) course, which took place at the Electrolux Professional Centre of Excellence in Luton, was led by the FEA’s former chief executive Keith Warren.

The course was attended by a variety of students on this occasion, including service staff, designers, a leisure sector consultant, sales personnel, customer support and specifiers. 

Warren said: “The Electrolux Professional site provided the perfect opportunity for me to point out aspects of the equipment that we were discussing, with the wide range of cooking, refrigeration, accelerated cooking, warewashing and other products on display in the showroom.  

“When we got to cook-chill, the Electrolux chef Stuart Flint CFSP was able to give a short practical demonstration of equipment. The more we do to establish common knowledge across the industry, the more effective our sector will be. Clear understanding leads to better decisions, whether you are an operator choosing equipment or a supplier offering advice.”

With more than 700 graduates in the UK alone, the CFSP programme has established itself as the benchmark for developing and recognising knowledge within the foodservice sector. 

Paul Wright, CFSP marketing manager UK & Ireland at Electrolux Professional, added: “It was a pleasure to host the course and welcome delegates here. Speaking personally, doing CFSP helped me massively in getting a better understanding of how the foodservice industry operates.” 

CFSP is also recognised internationally, with programmes running in the USA, Australia, UEA, Sweden and Italy, and significant interest in other European countries.
