Texas doesn't license cooks or chefs — employers hire on skill, portfolio, and experience. Look for programs with real kitchen hours, externships with local restaurants, and food-manager certification prep.
Ask every school the same five questions and compare answers in writing: total cost including fees and tools; program length in weeks and clock hours; schedule options; completion rate and where that number comes from; and what happens in the first week after you request information. A school that answers fast and in writing usually runs its training the same way.
