Anyone with experience with ACC or LCB Pastry Certificate programs?
I'm just trying to collect information about the pastry certification programs at ACC and Le Cordon Bleu. LCB looks to be much more rigorous, but also much more expensive. I'm wondering if the ACC program is even worth the time, if having the certificate will actually be an asset to someone looking to work in that field.
Anyone gone through either of these programs, or know someone who has? Are these people typically employable? I know what both schools say, but I absolutely do not trust that information. I'm looking for real experiences.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Anyone with experience with ACC or LCB Pastry Certificate programs?
My mother use to work at LCB. I highly recommend it over ACC.
LCB has the credentials, and people know the name. They offer job placement for every student that comes through. If you call them they can start helping you with grants, scholarships and financial aid. Nearly everyone there has the program discounted in some way. The chef that teaches culinary arts here at our high school use to be a teacher there, and he highly recommends it.
Most chefs are very picky, and a lot of hotels and restaurants want to see a "big" name. LCB is definitely one of them. You also get to meet a lot of people in the food industry in Austin through LCB. The food industry is very tightly knit, you help me I help you kind of attitude.
