I loved going to the school i got my degree is pastry arts even though I was sold on the fact that I would get help from the school to do something with the diploma didn't happen. I went back for my associates degree to and be employed with their school and become a teacher, because I was told by hmm, the people who sell you on the school and student council that if I came back and did the 6 months of associates classes and graduate. I could work for the school or at least get a school. A teaching job with these 2°. Unfortunately, some emergency items things have happened in my life and me and my daughter were almost homeless and health issues hit my family real bad and it seems like the school didn't want to help and the school really didn't care they said, sorry for your loss, but don't forget to pay us. So unfortunately, because I can't get nobody to talk to me or care to take the time to talk, I would not recommend escafier anymore. It was a very disappointing, heartbreaking and upsetting schooling. It really was because I loved this school and I loved the teachers I worked with and instructors, but unfortunately the money part of the situation, they're very heartless and cruel and don't care. All the school does now is call and harass the people they made me put on the application for the school. In closing this school does n9t have the heart i thought did when I first started.
I filled out a form with this institution just to get general information, but since then it has been a very unpleasant experience. They started bombarding me with unsolicited emails, many of them requesting personal information that I never authorized to share. Even worse, I contacted the university president and another representative to express my concerns, and I never received any response. This clearly shows that either they allow these kinds of practices or they simply ignore people who feel uncomfortable with them. An educational institution should handle people’s data with ethics and respect. I do not recommend filling out any forms or sharing any information with them.
I’ve been attending Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts since January of last year, and now with just five months until graduation, I can honestly say it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The program has helped me grow so much, both in skill and confidence. The instructors are experienced, supportive, and truly care about our success. I’ve learned everything from basic knife skills to advanced cooking techniques, and I feel much more prepared for the real world. It’s not always easy—there are definitely challenges—but it’s all worth it if you’re passionate about food and serious about a culinary career. I’m proud to be part of this journey!”
I’d say maybe try in-person school as you seem to get more information and care. The online is good but once you’ve been accepted trying to get into contact with anyone is optional. If you call on Friday’s they will ignore you until Monday. You can leave messages but they won’t get back to you as soon as possible. Listen to the low reviews. They are indeed true
The whole online school really feels like a scam. You have a 3 week trail period to try the school out. During this period you are completely enrolled and they aren’t very thorough on how their school works. They teach you about their in person schools on the surface level, not the important parts such as paying $400 for a toolkit that you’ve opened so that you can try the school out, do your schoolwork and have the correct equipment to get said schoolwork done. They were extremely pushy with me in the enrollment process as a freshly graduated student that has interest in culinary arts. They say you have a 3 week trial period and you aren’t tied to anything etc. So you are free to try the program out. I asked multiple times as I was starting to get worried. I’m not tied to anything right? I just want to try out the school. “Yes” I was told. After you unenroll and try to return the toolkit that you’re supplied with during the completion of orientation. You are expected to pay for the toolkit, if the toolkit is opened. I was told through email they were “unable to accept open tool kits.” So why don’t you tell your trial period students this? Which is everyone. How are you supposed to try the school out? Why is nobody told you will have to pay for an opened toolkit, that is supplied to you, for you to do your schoolwork? Obviously, I found all this out the unfortunate way, at the very end, when I decided to drop the program because of how suspicious things were getting and also, I didn’t enjoy their program. It took multiple phone calls and multiple different people to get me unenrolled may I add. Absolutely ridiculous. Still praying I don’t receive anything in the mail from them as well as, I hope my personal information that I gave them, is protected. Seems like they just try to get the most money from everyone. I want to add, I’m 18, but my parents would be paying for school, they were not involved in this process at all. Not one conversation, email. Anything. I do not have a job or a way to pay for school as of right now, I was very clear about that. Paying for school would be on my parents behalf. I just wish I would’ve looked at all the reviews of everyone talking about their scamming tendencies. Thank god for Reddit and goggle reviews even though I was too late. Go to an in person culinary school, it’s a few grand more, more thorough, more helpful, more professional, and totally worth not being scammed.
