About World Culinary Schools

What this is

World Culinary Schools lists culinary schools, their actual teaching campuses, and the specific programs they run, with the exact award, who issues it, teaching language, practical hours, costs and admissions as the schools publish them. Each fact carries a source and a date. We keep schools, campuses and programs separate because a school can have several campuses, and tuition, language, duration and recognition belong to the individual program.

What it is not

• It is not an accreditor, a government body or a school, and is not affiliated with any. Naming an authority or accreditor does not imply endorsement.
• It is not a league table. Recognition status describes a record held by an authority or awarding body; it says nothing about teaching quality or job prospects, and there is no universal culinary accreditation.
• It is not an application or booking service. “Request Information” sends a request to one school; nothing is applied for or confirmed here.
• It does not cover every provider yet. Coverage differs by country and is stated on each country page.

How it is funded

Basic factual listings are free. The site is funded by clearly labelled sponsored placements and advertising; see sponsorship disclosure. Sponsors cannot buy recognition, verification, reviews, rankings or an editorial position.

Who runs it
