My daughter's roommate went to CCA (California Culinary Academy). It
was US$20,000 for a ten month program. She went in for baking. She got
to take home what they made, but was supposed to pay US$8.00 for a new
cake box each time! The instructor thought that was BS, so he made them
buy one box, and they just used it until it fell apart (or was too
filthy, cakes are messy).

My son went through the culinary program at the local junior college.
That looks like the way to go, especially considering the lousy pay for
graduates. My son has been working at a place the last three years.
The pay isn't good, but they give him a nice place to live (free,
including most utilities) and treat him like a king. His commute is
about 50 feet.
