Are you looking for a new career
or for career enhancement in the culinary arts arena?
it's important to take a look around and find a school
that matches your career and personal needs. My site
provides a useable guide to most of the top culinary
and cooking school. Find a school that you like by
browsing through our summaries of different schools,
then find out what is important to you by requesting
more information.
The important thing to remember is
that you are the buyer, and you have every right to
evaluate the school to make sure that it suits your
needs in terms of a learning environment as well as
your career goals in the culinary field.
The only way to do this effectively
is to get as much information as possible about the
schools that interest you. Most of the schools have
extensive brochures that you can get (see annotated
links page), and admissions reps waiting by the phone
to answer your questions, even into the evening hours.
I would suggest that you look over
the summary of a few selected schools that I have
described here, send for their recruitment information,
read the material, and then call the admissions rep
at the schools that interest you. You can also check
out their websites, but, in general, the printed matter
(and the occasional video or CD) that they send out
gives more in-depth info than the websites.
The challenge you will have at that
point is not to jump for the first place that tries
to get you to sign up. That's their job, to sell you
on the place, and get you signed up if you are a viable
prospect. The best thing would be to use the brochures
to eliminate a few of the schools that don't appeal,
then call just the schools that really interest you
and talk to their admission officers to find out what
really matters to you.
Good luck
