How to Get Into Le Cordon Bleu | Interview with Katharyn Shaw

During the live radio broadcast at Study and Go Abroad Fair for CIUT89.5FM, I chat with Katharyn Shaw of Le Cordon Bleu on admissions, her culinary career journey and the world of food.
From a being concert violinist to getting a letter answered by Julia Child, discover how Katharyn decided to take the plunge, go to Paris, and study the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu.
Original live broadcast took place on March 3rd, 2019.

omgg sameeee we might meet eachother there lmaoo :)

[@jamiecolbert]

Me too lol

[@RadTradX]

Do it, talk is cheap and if it is your passion research different schools and decide which one is best for you. Just know it will be the hardest thing you have ever done. If it was easy everyone would do it. The only way to succeed is to have the raw determination, willpower, and heart, failure is only because of a lack of those

[@aranyaghosh1286]

doing the same thing

[@hollymartin9563]

How to get into Le Cordon Bleu? Pay the £30,000+ fee and you're in. It's not Julliard or Harvard, if you've got the moolah - you've got entry.

I was planning to get admission at le cordon blue London, is there any entrence assessment exam or anything like that ,if u know please help

[@vikrantsingh5920]

@@ketansuvarna3336 did you choose London or Ottawa?

[@alkatheery13]

@@vikrantsingh5920 i want to go London branch How much the fees??

[@kexyp]

@@alkatheery13 if u do it as a university course (with management) it’s £9250 yearly. Quick insight as a student, they will make you pay £500 for chef equipment (knives, kitchen tools, jacket, pants, cloths) I would recommend going if you know your way around a chef kitchen cus they expect you to that much basic knowledge

Lmao this comment nailed it

[@MarysHappyBelly]

Great job Shuang. What a great interview!

[@alexispark3870]

Thank you so much for this!

[@samias6859]

You are such a natural at this...great work!! :)

[@sarim8329]

I want to enroll in one of the course but I can't afford the fees. Is there any scholarship available?

[@kimsiong02]

yes there are scholarships, I remember looking at LCB London's website but it's only for British citizens. you should check for the other locations

[@fritzfernandez8657]

Cordonbleu numero uno 🥇

[@douqi622]

Good job is done

[@vikrantsingh5920]

Any international student who had to decide between Cordon Blue London / Ottawa, which one did you choose and why ?

[@winsidaosman807]

How's is it for international students

[@kaxg._.v1n]

One thing I am curious is that must I have a lot of knowledge and practical culinary experience to enroll Le cordon Bleu?

[@Lix]

You do not, Just have a passion for it.

[@Manpreett.kkaurr]

On a radio interview!

[@kaherbalplantph808]

my son want to enroll here soon how it cost entire course?

[@SMOOTH_FF333]

43000 euros plus etc

[@SMOOTH_FF333]

For the grand diploma

[@gordongray9166]

Host was a bit ignorant/naive - All good though. Katharyn was a pleasure to listen to, very humble - expected nothing less from a chef/scholar from Le Cordon Bleu.

[@bobamilk3384]

Me in grade 7 taking notes

[@radhaberigaisrinivasamurth6517]

me too

[@malaikahdejesus5591]

no money no schooling

[@janysetv]

any age limit? im 45 :((

[@shuangesther]

Never too late to change careers. Feel free to contact their admissions, good luck!

[@cautilligab]

Do it. Graduated at 42 from Cordon Bleu from Italy. Loved it. But you should have a higher goal than just working as a cook/chef forever. Maybe owning your own restaurant, catering service etc. hope you understand. 👍

[@catarinatang980]

@@cautilligab I did not know there's one in Italy.

[@AbhishekSharma-ge5qs]

There is no LCB in Italy!!!

[@Manpreett.kkaurr]

Why is she wearing that chef coat in an interview

[@shuangesther]

Oh yes, this might look odd but this was a large career fair with in person events. Hence the chef coat. The radio interview was just one of many events that day :)
