Le Cordon Bleu Paris Q&A | Everything you need too know before applying!

[@ciprideva]

The patisserie diploma in paris is €28.000, I don’t understand why nobody is saying the price on the video… anyway. I live in London and I’m thinking to join later this year. Here it cost me £21.000, and if you don’t wish to be rich overnight and you really have a passion on this direction i think it is worth. Getting the diploma and then you will have plenty of doors open, go and work for 3-4 years to gain the experience and then you can make proper money. Long term investment IMO

[@abirarman5263]

Are you in the LCB London already? Because I had some questions.

[@mattturner4275]

I want to know about the social experience of like getting along with students, what did you to to make friends, finding living situations during school or during internship, like mostly just all the social aspects of getting along with teachers and other students/time spent outside of class

[@andreja_elena]

It was very easy to make friends since everyone is in a similar situation - moving from another country to study abroad. I found a room in a family's apartment before school started but I know lots of people who had something temporary and then once they got to school they found roommates. Cordon Bleu also made a good effort to have social events almost monthly for students. But you will become close with your classmates since you spend quite a bit of time with them in school if you are doing the Grand Diplome. Hope this helps!

[@creinosoh]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s very helpful. I’m planning to study at LCB and stay two years in Paris getting the grand diploma and taking some additional diplomas. I’m thinking about sending by ship all my cooking appliances/pots/tools with the idea of practicing at home while I’m not at school. Do you think it’s worth the trouble?

[@keetayarin]

Hi! This is really helpful so thank you I just want to ask about the internship. Is that’s a requirement or it’s just the thing you choose on your own? I want to attend LCB and also want to have some real life experience that’s my concern for now

[@andreja_elena]

@@keetayarin The internship is optional. If you want to do it you have to sign up and need to speak French well enough to help chosen. Hope this helps!

[@abriannaredabaugh6252]

Hello, thank you for all the information. I had a question about the daily expenses of living in Paris. Did you have to have a job while attending school to pay for rent and daily expenses? If your coming from another country is it hard to pay for things in terms of having a different currency?

[@Hanon666Monster]

Can i apply and get an acceptance before paying? Because I’m applying to a scholarship that requires a pre-acceptance

[@andreja_elena]

From what I remember, once you get accepted, then you have a certain amount of time before you have to pay tuition. But I would contact the school directly thought their website to be sure. Good luck!

[@aneesrehman1007]

You are great 👍 good work

[@brightgreenleaves]

What kind of visa did you need? I’m looking into that now and it seems really complicated! I’m coming from the US.

[@andreja_elena]

@@brightgreenleaves I believe it was a student visa, I just had to submit documents, pay a fee and pick it up at the French embassy

[@rayc3951]

I just want to take a course, but my English is not very well. May you think I can take a course? Please answer me.

[@sebastiannavarro8370]

Thereb are some courses that say it requires a bachelors degree but im so confused. A bachelors degree of what

[@andreja_elena]

All you need is a high school diploma for pastry/cooking programs, more education is likely required for the management type classes they offer. The best way to find out for sure is to email the school directly with your questions!

[@chefdave2910]

Getting a degree in culinary is similar to getting a degree in gender studies.

[@petercartagena3307]

​@Chef Dave hahahaha 😆

[@heyyay3900]

Do you need to know French for attending the course?

[@andreja_elena]

You do not need to know French, but there is an advantage to know a little and I do recommend taking a French class while attending! For most internships you need to know basic French. I go more in depth about all of that in this video "What it's like to go to Le Cordon Bleu Paris": kzbin.info/www/bejne/paGTpIhvd6ebfKs

[@maigalasies1864]

Do you have to speak French to attend the school?

[@Bella_Aryanah]

I think so,but am not sure

[@collindugas5051]

no classes are translated into english while being taught

[@theglory4103]

Is there any accommodation for students?

[@andreja_elena]

No, students are expected to find their own accommodations. I suggest joining a Facebook group and asking around if anyone is looking for roommates. Otherwise, there are some people in the city who rent out rooms to students in their apartments. I lived in a family's apartment, they always rented out their spare rooms to cordon blue students because it was walking distance to the school.

[@tanyapayne123]

Can I attend the school at 16 years old?

[@aneesrehman1007]

9 months how much cast

[@ciprideva]

€28.000 you can see the prices for all courses on their website

[@taharintonnitrishna7302]

Without IELTS accepted???

[@maniipatel4357]

Anyone going to or have been to the London location? I am thinking of applying for January

[@sreelakshmivp1917]

I'm planning for the same

[@yuktikadhupar1944]

Hey! Did you apply?

[@Pinkshoes1239]

did you go? :)

[@angelawanjiku3787]

Do they accept international students ?

[@andreja_elena]

Yes, almost everyone was international when I went!

[@coversbylinhka7416]

Hi. Is it important to know French?

[@andreja_elena]

You do not need to know French, but there is an advantage to know a little and I do recommend taking a French class while attending! For most internships you need to know basic French. I go more in depth about all of that in this video "What it's like to go to Le Cordon Bleu Paris": kzbin.info/www/bejne/paGTpIhvd6ebfKs

[@theglory4103]

Can I do masters of wine in Le cordon bleu

[@MammieBarry]

😏😢

[@chefdave2910]

Don’t do it!!!! You’ll be in debt for the rest of your life!!!

[@andreja_elena]

Isn't that true for most degrees?

[@chefdave2910]

That’s what the rich want…. Be in debt 100k when you are at the age of 22. College is the biggest scam.

[@andreja_elena]

@@chefdave2910 I agree! I don't regret going to LCB personally as it was a "once in a lifetime experience" that I cherished, but I wish I could go back and get the time and money back for my 4 year University business degree

[@user-wd7tq3iz6j]

Stop saying Pari !!!!!

[@andreja_elena]

😂 it annoys me too
