Changing
the Game
in Culinary
Education
It takes much more than culinary expertise to make a successful chef.
Many students emerge from cooking schools with diploma in hand,
filled with enthusiasm and food know-how but lacking the knowledge
of how to make it in the cut-throat restaurant business. Culineur,
Bangkok’s brand-new school of Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship, is
going to change that.
Students learn much more than just cooking skills at Culineur. Here,
they’re also taught the intricacies of running a restaurant business,
including IT, accounting and HR. This is perfect for young students who
want to get a great start, as well as a great opportunity for industry
professionals who want to top-up their business knowledge before
breaking out on their own.
This revolutionary new cooking school is unlike anything the market
has seen before. Everything, from the premises and equipment to the
way they’re used to teach, is setting a new gold standard for culinary
training. Culineur was launched by CP Group, the largest company
in Thailand and one of the largest conglomerates in the world. CP
has been a long-standing giant of the food industry for decades, and
there’s no better company to back the school.
