I would like to apply for the new Italian program at FCI, but it seems it is not accredited. I really want to learn everything there is to know about Italian cuisine and this intensive 8 month program at FCI in New York and Italy sounds great, but according to FCI it is not accredited like their pastry and culinary arts programs are.

"The FCI's Amateur Italian cooking courses are not accredited by ACCSCT and are designed for personal enrichment. They are not intended to qualify a student for employment."

Is it worth investing all that money (~ $38,000) into a program that will not be recognized/ taken seriously by employers?
