This school is a wonderful value! I couldn't recommend it more highly! In comparison to other schools with the same curriculum, the money spent on this program is half or even less than half of everything else out there. I am a current 3rd semester student and when I see people touring the school for consideration I want to grab each one of them and tell them about my experience. The New facility itself is amazing and is consistently receiving upgrades and improvements. The administration is wonderful and the learning environment is very well thought out. The curriculum is challenging and difficult and the system of learning is a "Connect the Dots" theory that is designed for your success. But the real prize of this school are the Instructors!! The number one compliment I can pay to this school is their uncanny ability to recognize and acquire talent. Each one of the Chef Instructors has their own unique style and certain specific expertise but the common denominator is how genuinely talented and generous they all are individually and collectively. I am entering my seventh month and my skill level has become ridiculous. If you have ever considered going to Culinary School, going "Back to School", or using your GI bill for something that will benefit you forever - You can't go wrong with this program. In the seven months that I have been a student my family has eliminated eating fast foods altogether. I am cooking high quality and healthy meals every single day of the week. The techniques I am learning have gotten me away from recipe and cookbooks and I am naturally putting exciting menu's together every single week which feed my family for less money and produce a much higher quality product than anything I could afford to buy. The skills I have been taught are already paying for themselves so well that I am covering a huge portion of my tuition in the money I am saving by not eating out and shopping smarter and producing the expensive things myself through my skillset. Tools and uniforms are provided in the cost of the program. Textbooks are also provided and The textbooks are fabulous! I will be revisiting these books throughout my culinary journey. I will forever be in debt to this school and it's Chef Instructors and I cannot praise the entire program...
Read moreI've come to find out that the reviews are most definitely correct as far as them not caring about you as a student. I had requested to pay my payments in weekly payments as that's how I was paid. I was told that would be fine as long as by the due date it was paid completely. I was good with that but then when it came to the start of class the lady I was dealing with Amy told me I had to have the entire payment. Which I had previously explained that because of my situation I could not pay in one lump sum. So now I've wasted time energy and money and they won't refund the monies I have spent and won't allow me to go to class. All they want is to steal money from people that are trying to improve...
Read moreWe hosted a work party here for about 30 people. It was fantastic! The space was perfect for our needs. We divided up into groups to make cookies and enjoyed appetizers and drinks while the cookies finished. Chef Waier was amazing and his students were so helpful. Thankfully, the recipes and ingredients were provided, so we came away with delicious cookies. I highly recommend The Culinary School of Fort Worth...
