1. I think the average is about three years, but you don't become a MASTER chef straight out of school. It takes years of experience and fine tuning of your knowledge and abilities.
2. After finishing high school,you can attend either the Culinary Arts Institue of America in Hyde Park,NY or Johnson and Wales in Rhode Island or other colleges that offer Culinary Arts Program.They are usually 4 years long,like most colleges. Then usually every two years you can take a test and upgrade your degree.
3. First you have culinary school 7 months to 4 years, depends where you go. If you want to go on you look for apprentice programs and work under several masters until you are ready to go to a Masters program, like the one at Boston University. Master Chefs spend many years honing their skills, sometimes in an academic setting but most time is spent on the job. Advanced degrees are necessary for big bucks in the major houses and hotel chains but the best culinary education in in the back of the house sweating you nuts off.
