Hello,

I'm coming up on 30 years old and still maintain a professional career as an airline pilot, however I want to step it up in the culinary world during my free time.  My schedule allows me flexibility and time to take classes at a local culinary school, but I am not looking for any fancy program, maybe just a certificate program.  I plan on using my skills to start a catering or food truck business in the next 2-3 years. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for places in Chicago?  Thank you.

Have you considered a community college? Of course there is always Kendall, which isn't a community college, but certainly has a very upstanding reputation; perhaps there are 'after-hours' and weekend classes available.

Washburne is a reputable school part of the City Colleges of Chicago.

They have a "basic" and "advanced" certificate course, as well as a full AA program. I also want to add that their tuition is pretty affordable when you put it in comparison to what the Private Schools charge.

I sincerely urge you to check it out! Best of luck from a fellow Chicagoain!
