| I am an alumnus and former Chef-Instructor of NECI, so please allow me a moment to sing the praises of my alma mater. NECI is a relatively young school, it does not yet have the storied history of the CIA. It does, however, have many things which no other school can offer. There is a 7:1 student teacher ratio. That's not a stat or a gimmick, but a rule. No classes are permitted to have more than 7 students. Intense personal attention. They also offer 2 paid internships (others have 1 or none), advanced placement and accelerated programs, & a bachelors degree in hotel & restaurant management. All of NECI's classes are in real, operational restaurants, bakeries hotels, etc. that cater to the general public. Add to all of this the beauty of Vermont and you've got an unbeatable combination. If you have any further questions, or if I can help in some way, please feel free to contact me. Peace, kmf

 I'm currently working for a NECI grad. Based on my experience working for him, I'd say they've got a pretty impressive program.
