Training to be a Chef
Learning to cook - and cook well - usually involves either an apprenticeship with a hotel or a culinary arts program at a vocational school or college.
The
American Culinary Federation's Educational Institute sponsors a national apprenticeship training program, whereby apprentices work at fine restaurants and resorts while training to be certified chefs.
The program involves three years or 6,000 hours of on-the-job training at restaurants and resort dining rooms under some of the world's finest chefs. Apprentices typically supplement their hands-on experience with courses in subjects like sanitation, nutrition, menu planning, and food preparation and display. After certification, graduates go on to get full-time chef positions, often at some of the resorts where they apprenticed.
