Screw culinary academies!. I've actually been employed as a a private chef and I never went to culinary school!. I'm self taught!. Remember in "Good Will Hunting" where the college kid starts mouthing off material from his textbook and Will says, "Yeah, I read that too!. I got the same education as you for about 12 cents in late fees from my local library!." Same principle!.
Anyway, it's a hard job to find!. You need to find someone who really knows you can cook well, and cook a variety of interesting things that are not outrageously expensive!. You'll need to be good at pricing ingredients and planning menus!. That's a lot different than working in a restaurant, where you just have to cook!.
Talk to your parents or middle aged relatives and network through them to find wealthy, busy middle aged people who have the money to pay you and won't haggle over your services!. Or talk to wealthy people you may know from somewhere else- church, social clubs, something like that!. Networking is the way to find clients like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As far as I know, Being a personal chef is simply a job description (not the actual career, that's being a chef in general)!.
All chefs, no matter what sort of specific job or clientele they take on, go through the same or similar courses of study - you basically have to go through culinary school!. After that, you practice what you've learned by working in food establishments!. To become a personal chef, you have to either be recommended to someone who needs one, or apply for a job that requires one!. High profile people tho like celebrities or politicians usually go by recommendation so beef up your experience and network effectively!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Classified ads!.
However, if you want to be the personal chef to someone rich and famous, you'll have to be discovered which means you have to work in a top-restaurant!. I of course expect you already have your culinary academy diploma !.!. !?
