| - I am a graduate of this school and I agree with Stephanie 100%!
As long as you pay the tuition, YOU'RE ACCEPTED. During my job hunting adventures, most places that I applied to in Las Vegas during my schooling and even after I graduated, LAUGHED at the fact that I went to the LCB in Las Vegas. The NAME "Le Cordon Bleu" is world renowned, not the Las Vegas school.
The school also fails to mention to you, after you graduate, you're not a "Chef" as soon as you graduate, qualifications are based on experience not the school you attended. Although, during your training, they make it seem as if the LCB name will open doors for you- HA! (Exactly what Chefs said when I told them I attended there! lol)
As far as a comparison to CSN? The tuition there is a sOoOo much more affordable than the price that you pay at LCB and they cover, the same, if not more at CSN. Private schools want money. Most of the credits, if not all, are not transferable to another school. I tried transferring my credits to make a career change, since I was getting more laughs than praises regarding the LCB name in my current career choice, and the school told me most of the credits are NOT transferable... WTF?! 40 grand in tuition that I am still paying off and the credits are not worth diddlysquat at, of all places, a community college!
And about the student body, they're all the same at any college that you go to, "World Renowned" or not.
Now, the instructors, *SIGH*. There were a handful that are GREAT! Then, there are the rest of them that seem to hate their jobs or hate the students and there were also the perverted ones as well- EW! There was a particular incident that happened, not going to name names but there was a married couple that were baking & pastries instructors for part 1 & 2. For whatever reason, there was a misunderstanding with B&P1 Instructor and a few of my classmates... The instructor became so upset, stormed off, left the classroom and never returned. Well, this instructor went crying over to the B&P2 instructors class, the spouse's class... Because of the "drama" with the first instructor, the dirty looks we'd receive from the B&P2 instructor and to avoid any "issues" in B&P2, the school had to rearrange the schedules and provide us with another instructor for B&P2... It'd be a lot easier if I could put out the detailed information but I won't but it was quite hilarious, immature and unprofessional of the school and instructors to handle the situation like that.
The ONLY good thing that I can say about the school, is that the campus is small which allowed for easy parking. Very convenient unlike CSN, other than that, my suggestion is to either attend another LCB in another city that has a better reputation or CSN... Especially for the amount of money that you pay for the classes.
