How much is your school's tuition?

[LBK]

Scottsdale Culinary Institute, a Le Cordon Bleu program, is around $40,000 for the 13 months, is it worth it??

you pay for prestige. as with any school and any major you get out what you put in. even the best schools don't create chefs. they prepare you by giving you the essentials (and a bit more depending on the program) but it is up to you to decide on how successful you will be at this profession. you also have to decide what type of chef you want to be...what i mean is do you crave fame (and the fortune that goes with it) [if so i would start at a well known school and go from there] or do you want to be a technician (honing the technical aspects of this grand tradition) [if that is the case i would study schools carefully and talk to current and past students to really see if that school will give you what you need]...there are many options in culinary arts and what i would suggest is getting a general idea of where you want to be and then look at education from that stand point

Le Cordon Bleu here in Las Vegas is $41,000 for the 12 month program and 3 month externship.

The Community College of Southern Nevada is usually $50-75 per credit and requires 64 credits for graduation of their culinary program. You have to pay for all the other materials separately.

Here in the bay area, there is a local Junior College (Diablo Valley College or DVC) that has a great culinary program. I will be attending this program full time this coming spring, and the tuition will cost ~$26 per unit. (This translates into only $300-500 per semester. Of course add any uniforms, tools, and books to that and I am guessing it will cost me around $700-800 per semester total.

Around $4000(can) @ GBC (George Brown College) in the downtown Toronto core for 8 months of chef training. Culinary Management is a 2 year with I think 3 months co-op (usually at the Fairmont Royal York hotel) for 2x that price.
I hear Stratford University goes for around $12k and Cordon Bleu Ottawa $20k.
