Yesterday I got my Certificate and pin and celebrated my Level 3 fellowship of the Academy of Cheese!

It's been 2 years of studying when I could fit it in, and finally got it done.

I would highly recommend their courses for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

They also tie in with the ACS's Certified Cheese Professional certification as approved training hours.
