-this school is older and it will take you two years before you get a diploma.

www.iscahm.com/

-this school is new and it will only take you a year to get a diploma.

Hello, I'm no professional chef, but just an enthusiastic foodie, who's also considering a viable career in the culinary world.

Anyways, I think you should weigh out the possible future aspects of both schools. Like, what sort of restaurants or hotels will you be able to intern in, which fits better into your budget, etc etc. In short, which school do you think you'll be more comfortable in?
I dare say while a culinary diploma helps, it's the long years of experience that will really take you to the top.

I noticed both schools are in Quezon City. Normally, when schools are near to where I live, I like to go down there to check it out myself, just to see what its like at the schools.
Hope that may help in making your decision, happy hunting for your school of your dreams!

You may want to poke around in the Culinary Students forum, as well, for input.
Good luck with your schooling.
