I need someone who has experienced through this course in Taylor's Because I need to know about the Units they have in it, like the subjects they are teaching.
Because This table looks just weird compared to many or should i say all the other colleges that are available in malaysia.
Here is a screenshot for easier view.

Before i tell you why I find it weird, I will show u a couple of example of other school's course module.

this is from Nilai University http://www.nilai.edu.my/images/courses/mod_dipca.jpg
this is from KDU http://img38.imageshack.us/i/module.jpg/

Now of course this modules are just Diploma's , what you can see is different from these different modules is... that.. for some awkward reason Taylor's has what is listed as
1.Malaysia Studies, Which.... I Dont know what it could it? what is it??? can anyone who is undertaking this course or have already graduated tell me what exactly is that?
2. World Geography!
3. Bahasa Kebangsaan A/B (is this bahasa malaysia? why? havent we already learn enough in school of course maybe this is for the international student)
4. Islamic/ moral studies : OK seriously i dont get this, why???? for my situation that would be moral studies, why moral studies?? same as BM, i have already learned it in school......

Ok so, who can tell me why is there such subjects? as if I need to learn all these, I want to learn about culinary arts, isnt that what the course tittle mean anyways? Why is there so little units directly associated with cooking? or kitchen. as compared to the other modules table we can see from nilai and Kdu

Ok so now i have told you about the weird thing i see.

now im going to tell you why i want to get some explanation from experience people.

I am trying to find the right College/University that at the same time is also my money's worth.
At the Moment, I can tell you, I am more willing to pay RM39K for KDU or Nilai, Because RM39k is the total cost of Taylor's Diploma in Culinary Arts, Yes that is a Big sum of money, That is why, I have to be sure and not judge the quality or education from just the programme modules alone.
That is why I need people who are taking Taylor's French Diploma in Culinary Arts or have graduate to tell me, Is it worth the money? is it better than other colleges?

As u can see from those module link i posted, KDU and Nilai seems to offer more education on Food or subjects that are well related to it.

So, It is hard for me to choose which college i will go to, So can you tell me if Taylor's offers better than what i see? i cant just judge from the programme list alone.

So the question you can help me by answering is.

1- If the Money is worth for getting the cert,or maybe some other college would be offereing better untis
2- Is there more cooking related subjects than what is listed from here http://img199.imageshack.us/i/programei.jpg/
3- Tell me about your education experience while undergoing Taylors Culinary Course (Minus industrial Training, because i want to know what you actually learn in the classroom)

Feel free to add anything you wishes to share with me.

Lastly I want to tell you, I love cooking, I enjoy cooking, I want to learn more about cooking , and of course not just about cooking, managing the kitchen etc etc , the last thing I want is. to enroll into a course that offers minimum education on this department and suffers my school years to wake up early in the morning travel all the way from Port Klang to PJ just to go to class and study moral/ BM/ Math/account/ and geography.
Also i wanna add, that I might further my studies in australia at le cordon bleu or william angliss in the future, it could be 3 or 4 years later.
and i know Taylors are partnered with le cordon bleu, But i have doubts in the programmes they offer.

Please save me before i fall into this pit of horror. and Please enlighten me if there is more to it than it seems.
