| Coming to the US? Bring two things, talent and determination. Ironically the latter can't be taught.

| Felipee,Jeff is spot on about needing determination and talent. The City and Guilds of London Institute still oversee the chef courses.There are qualifications,in most colleges at the moment called NVQs.This stands for National Vocational Qualification.They have 5 levels. There are also a number of other chef courses you could embark on,which will leave you with a range of career options. The City and Guilds website can be found at: www.city-and-guilds.co.uk By the way,i am a chef and eligible for membership of the City and Guilds Association as i hold a Senior Award. Good luck,i hope you find what you are looking for,Leo. P.S. professional cookery is where art and science meet.  |
