■ STEPS TO BECOME A CHEF
1) Start at an entry-level restaurant job
2) Earn your high school diploma or GED
3) Graduate from culinary school

Hello,
Thanks for the question. The path toward becoming a professional chef has many twists and turns. Each route is uniquely different for everyone, in spite of some important commonalities. One key direction along the way is earning a culinary arts degree . The resources, networking opportunities, and skills (both inside and outside of the kitchen) that are available in culinary school have no substitute.
- Have a Passion to Cook and Create
- Find a Job Working in a Kitchen
- Complete High School or Have a GED
- Enroll in Culinary School
- Continue Getting Practical Experience
and then as a commis or chef de partie, with your experience and networking opportunities, you can get your first chef job. From here, you can work your way up to sous chef and eventually to head chef.
