AI is a fucking joke.. They're asking for $23k+ for their one year program. I went to meet the advisor with my brother last month (he wants to do pastry arts/wedding cakes), and the advisor gave us a bull-shit 30min powerpoint presentation on how they have schools in the states and shit. At the end of the presentation, I asked about their internship programs and which employers they have as partners. She just said 'the top hospitality establishments in Vancouver.' I tried to dig for 'names' and she got super defensive.

We went to the Pacific Cullinary Arts School (Granville Island) and was offered a private 'orientation' around the campus. They were much more thorough and indepth in their presentation, and we had the opportunity to chat with a couple of 1st and 2term students. If I was to do cullinary arts, I would pick Pacific.

P.S. I still think the student kit (knives, etc) for $1299 is bullshit.
