Culineur is also partnered with some of the biggest and
best names in the industry. The courses are approved and
accredited by the Thai Ministry of Education and run by
industry professionals. The curriculum was developed by
the world-renowned École Hôtelière de Lausanne, and
some of Culineur’s staff members are even sent there for
training. At Culineur, they take the education of their
instructors just as seriously as that of their students.
All instructors are put through an intensive ‘Qualified
Learning Facilitator’ programme before they’re allowed
to work with students, which ensures that they have
the strategies and teaching techniques they need to
effectively transfer their expertise.
The school’s signature diploma program is taken over
two years and consists of four modules. The first kicks
off with the foundations of world cuisine, pastry and
service. The second immerses students in craft cuisine,
beverages and catering operations. In the third, they
delve into fine dining and fusion, developing the skill and
precision required to create world-class dishes. However,
the final module is what really sets the institution
apart. This part of the course covers management and
entrepreneurship, giving students everything they need
to run successful restaurant businesses. Whether they
want to work in catering, hotels, fine-dining restaurants
or their own enterprises, they’ll have all the necessary
tools. Absolutely everything is covered, from creating a
theme to budgeting, business planning, marketing and
critical thinking. By the end of it, students can expect to
be well-rounded and ready to kick-start their careers with
confidence.
