It takes more than superior cooking skills to become a chef. Most chefs and head cooks learn their skills through work experience at a restaurant. Others receive their initial training through community college cooking courses or in a technical school. This training can be grueling, from attending a culinary arts program to serving a long apprenticeship in a commercial kitchen, under the watchful eyes of a master chef. Be sure that any cooking school that you attend is certified by either the American Culinary Federation or the National Restaurant Association.
Apprentice chefs receive both instruction and paid on-the-job training. Finally, cooking courses may cover food sanitation and safety, basic knife skills, and kitchen equipment operation. Employment of chefs and head cooks is projected to grow 10 percent over the coming decade, which is faster than average, so the job outlook is pretty bright. If you are thinking of opening your own restaurant someday, it's wise to gain actual restaurant experience, and save up money to cover starting costs.
