Choosing A Culinary School

Good culinary skills can open doors, which is why we see the number of people getting involved with cooking growing. If you have an interest in being creative in the kitchen, whether for prep work, cooking, or baking, you might consider taking that interest one-step further by investing in a good culinary school. With the growing interest comes a growing number of schools but just as with any business or school, not all are created equal. Therefore, you need to do a little bit of homework to ensure you get the best training for the money.

For starters, you want to attend a culinary school that will prepare you for a successful future. One of the best ways to determine a good school from a bad one is to look at the number of graduating students who secure jobs in the business. Therefore, ask the employment rate of graduating students and determine if the culinary school offers any type of assistance in securing a job, as some do and some do not. After all, a good school will work with you not just to secure a job but to secure one with excellent pay and healthy benefits.

Another tip for choosing a culinary school is to go with one that has a strong alumni network. The bottom line is that the better you can network the better chance you have of securing and advancing your future. Then, the school should be nationally recognized. If the school is well established and has an excellent reputation, then you have a good chance at taking the hard work and training, turning it into something that can create a solid business.

Look for a culinary school that provides each student with a hands-on approach. Having the opportunity for one-on-one training is one of your best chances of success. The school should have enough kitchens, tools, and equipment to accommodate each student, along with a good instructor to student ratio so no one misses the importance of that one-on-one time. Typically, during your first two years of school, you should expect to spend about 1,200 hours of kitchen time. Unfortunately, some schools provide 50% less!

Many of the top culinary schools actually have established programs with various restaurants, resorts, and hotels. For you, this is a huge advantage because of the connections and possibilities of externships. In fact, some of the best schools will have you spend time at a number of properties around the globe during a 16 to 20-week externship. With this, you get the best of everything, from cuisine to equipment to atmosphere, and everything in between.

Any college you consider should be fully accredited, offering you the chance of earning your associate or bachelor?s degree. With the associate?s degree, you would learn all the fundamentals along with techniques and various cuisine styles so you can work in a number of food service jobs. In most cases, the associate?s degree would take two years for completion. For the bachelor?s program, you would learn everything the same as the associate?s degree, as well as operational and management skills so you can grow into a position of leadership. This degree is usually a four-year program. If you are not sure where to start in finding a culinary school, you can check with the United States Department of Education, which is responsible for publishing a list of regional institutional accrediting agencies.
