Home Study Program

The Personal Chef Home Study Program is the most complete and comprehensive correspondence course ever developed for the personal chef industry. It represents the culmination of 20 years of real-world experience from thousands of successful personal chefs.

The foundation of the Home Study Program is the Professional Personal Chef Reference Manual. With more than 500 pages of information and "how-to" guidance, this manual is organized in an easy-to-understand format covering all aspects of a Personal Chef Service in detail. The Professional Personal Chef Reference Manual has become the gold standard of the personal chef industry. That’s why successful personal chefs use the Professional Personal Chef Reference Manual to establish successful Personal Chef Services in the shortest time possible.

With the Professional Personal Chef Reference Manual, access to the Marketing and Selling Audio programs and the included Essential Recipes, the Home Study Program is a comprehensive instructional package created to help you start a successful Personal Chef Service. The program is typically completed in 40 - 80 hours, but the time and speed at which you progress is totally at your discretion. Upon completion, you will have the knowledge necessary to begin serving clients as a professional personal chef. Successful completion of the on-line examination series results in the awarding of your Personal Chef Diploma.

Testimonials

"I wasn’t sure if this program and training would be effective as a Home Study situation, but the program exceeded my expectations. The training material was very comprehensive and the culinary review was excellent. Students will invest significant time to complete this course (80+ hours for me). This is not like other “light-weight” programs. The Home Study program met my needs at a time when going to one of your campus locations wasn’t an option for me.": Vicki K. – Ohio
(80 hours of study time)
