ACE-recommended culinary classes - rachel83az - 04-14-2022
Definitely NOT cheap, but I know that some people have a burning desire to become a chef of some kind.

The "Essential Vegan Desserts" course appears to be the cheapest, at $500 (on sale until the 26th for $400). Prices go up from there.
In theory, one could pair Rouxbe's courses with some courses from Coopersmith for a Liberal Studies/Liberal Arts degree focused on cooking/hospitality. XAMK also offers some courses on tourism/hospitality.
Also forgot about Sur La Table. Again, not cheap, but they have 6 courses @ 3 ACE credits each for a total of $1500 when purchased all at once. That would be about $83/credit. Or you can purchase them one a time for $300/course.

onlinedegree.com has a really nice free culinary class. The videos are really good for that course.
It's not ACE but a lot of schools take their courses.

I forgot about OnlineDegree. I keep meaning to take that course, too, just for the sake of curiosity.

Study.com has several hospitality credit courses too.

I'm going to guess that applying for a chef position when your degree consists of all online cooking courses is not going to get you real far.

In 1977 Penn State University offered a correspondence course on ice cream. $5 got the student a spiral-bound textbook with tests at the end of each chapter. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield split the fee and studied together. They were interested in starting a food business, and their first choice was bagels, but the startup costs for ice cream were more within their reach.

But you mix it with years of experience and you’re looking at a management position.

Coopersmith has several culinary/hospitality courses, but they're NCCRS. Penn Foster has a gourmet cook certificate program.
