Diploma i believe is 1.5k or below.
Degree is 1.8k and above i believe.

Its almost the same like every place.
best if u can get current market rate 2k+

If those of you have the chance to work overseas, do hesitate to try and learn some stuff. Good experience is worth more than the cert. True story

Hye, I don't know if this is the right place for me to ask this. But I just want to know. My friend want to further his study in Bachelor Degree of Culinary Art. Which uni in Malaysia is the best in this course yea? Some option between KDU, Taylor's uni or MSU. Can you guys give me some suggestion. And I want to know about the environment, the uni management, student lifestyle, etc.

If u got the $$ go oversea.
If not stay in local, Sunway, Taylors, KDU

He don't want to further overseas. That's why he want to know which of the three is better in terms of environment and the student lifestyle.

Hearing from the feedback from students at Taylor's, Sunway & KDU, Taylor's is still the best in terms of facility & reputation. It all comes down to the individual, if he/she is willing to learn and work hard, then he/she will reap what he/she sows. One good thing about Taylor's is the industrial training system, whereby they have lotsa contacts with the industry which is really good for future benefits and where you can pursue your internship during the course. Im not promoting Taylor's or whatsoever, just my two cents

Just sharing out my working and training experience so far.. I just graduated from Berjaya University College of Hospitality in dip culinary arts.. Been to Hilton kl for internship before.. Overall, working in hotel line is seriously super tiring just like construction workers.. Hilton kl consists of 70% majority of Malay and they are kinda bossy.. Before I went for my internship in this hotel, I really don't believe what my lecturer said about hotel industries.. Sadly it is very true to be super harsh world unless if u really know survival skills.. The kitchen staffs normally will torture u kaw kaw especially boys.. Girls, abit more casual.. I am the first trainee in Hilton kl managed to survived in western banquet kitchen/main since the 1st day till the last day of my internship.. During the 1st month, I kept on wanted to give up my internship program because of the not used to the super busy and hectic schedules.. Bt then I kept on telling myself to continue till the end.. Finally I did it.. Everyday average 16hours working nonstop.. Totally no life for other activities already.. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate long working hours and stuffs but I don't think such super long working hours with such low pay will really make dip/culinary students to continue on working.. In Hilton, fresh grads will start at rm1.8k salary as commis 2.. As I heard from the chefs working in Hilton kl, only this hotel and shangri-la give the highest pay to kitchen staffs compares to other hotels.. Sadly to say, hotel line is not my cup of tea as before I enrolled into culinary course, I worked as sales executive also get higher pay and less working hours everyday.. But hotel line is very good if u wanna build up experience fast because the chefs/CDP very clever curi tulang one and leave most of the things to commis.. Last but not least, most people working in hotel don't have any qualifications at all but working experience.. So, they usually don't give a damn about our certs.. Even most of their methods don't really follow what we learnt in school but in a more shortcut way of doing it because hotel workloads will never finish.. If u really got passions in foods, good luck!

guys,i'm stucked with three choices. Taylor's, BUCH and KDU. which one is better? Reli hard to choose. Have mixed opinions!!

is it safe to assume the total fee for the course is 40k? and this include accommodation n all the knives sets n etc?

Hey guys, I'm currently undertaking SAM course and I'm really interested in culinary arts. Now I'm considering to join the bachelor of culinary arts & foodservice management programme in Taylors after my pre-u. Would I be at a disadvantage for not taking the diploma in culinary arts? thx

Hi, i need your opinion. What is the prospect for future if i further my study on Bachelor Culinary arts?
Currently im working as assistant catering officer in hospitals. thanks
