How long does it take to become an executive chef on average?

• Answer:

  The apprenticeship program alone is three years. After this time you are a journyman cook, and still have to earn the right to be called a chef. School does increase your chances of that greatly, but typically you must also earn you're way up the ladder to become an executive chef. There are many other chef positions to go through such as chef de partie, sous chef, and chef de cuisine. With hard hard work and dedication to a job you can climb that ladder very quickly. All in all on average it could take five years or more to go from say dishwasher in a establishment to exectutive chef.
