Enrolling at any higher educational institution tends to pricey, and often students find themselves asking, “Is this course worth the price of admission?” And it is not only the financial costs to take into consideration, but also the challenges of moving to a new location, being away from family, and the time it takes to complete the course. It is a lot to consider.
Before you intend to apply to any culinary school, not just world-renowned Institut Disciples Escoffier, it is worth asking the question, “What costs are involved getting into a private culinary school?” and “Is it worthwhile to pursue my dream career as a professional chef?”
