Depends on your future,
You pretty much need a certification.

If you want to have good name and able to enroll to big hotel easily go for big name college, if you prefer lots of hands on, then just go for cilantro, they basically focus lots on practical.

Nah, your English is fine.
Hmmm. Base on the course outline for cilantro

http://www.cilantro.edu.my/index.php/en/di...aration-cooking

They basically fuel you with full practical, they also emphasize it 70% of the course is practical.

I strongly believe culinary art is used to define preparation of fine dining food.

I can share with you my experience, we cover many things in Culinary arts in Taylors

From Marketing, business law, food hygiene, menu planning and etc

40-50% of our course is practical and 40-50% is theory

It is mean for establishing business, or become a executive chef.

For my recommendation, since you have 6 years of kitchen experience.

I really think you should go for big colleges, in order for you to get those big hotel. If thats what you plan in future to climb the ladder

Really depends on your budget,
But in reality a cert still a cert, in a real world people look for your experience more than the certification.

Private uni with big names very expensive
A cert can let you progress to Sous or CDP
and Executive Chef with Degree cert.

you will still join as Commis 1/2.
but you will certainly progress faster than those with only SPM with cert

You should think about by your own now haha.

Think real bro. Real world vs Certificate value

If your aim is to get certificate, then just go for cheaper school.
Cause in Hospitality, experience comes first over certificate.

It really depends on you, if you want to undergo full course, go for LCB and take a proper Diploma/ Cert
If you want fast, the 3 cert you've mention ( ive not so sure what isit about) 6 months. go for it, if you think it can helps to get you access hotel

Hi, I guess I believe every young adult who enroll to culinary is a great escape for them to avoid study. But in reality. Theory class is important and crucial. I my self also first enrolled at Taylors expect to be full practical class.

Those skill sets will come in handy when ur nephew would want to operate his own restaurant in future. I see a lot of restaurant fail because they dont know how to manage. If ur nephew just want purely be a cook, straight join a kitchen dont want time to go uni.

I'm not a full time chef , but I can share important message as a person who are at this field

1) its all about drive, money talk later. You expect to earn quick buck dont seek this job. Starting pay is 2k for a degree graduate
2) it's all about physical and mentally challenge. U need ur strength to cook and strength to think cooking right. It takes very long and hard experience to be successful. We ain't different from doctor
3) Malaysia.... Here people dont appreciate to pay good for chef . Better gauge ur skill from oversea and come back to run here. Singapore is a good starting point if u can't get Europe,China, or USA
4) root cuisine, if u r Chinese better gear up ur Chinese cuisine, if u r Indian, Malay better get ready cause people hire u not because of u r good at culinary art or western cuisine. but because u r good at local cuisine

It used to be active here...

But seems like Hospitality people are too busy working.
They aint have time to chill around.

Hence this thread became an course inquiry section in the edu forum.

To be honest, not really.
But oversea forum is very healthy. I ask about savory macaroons, they replied instant

R u going for hotel management or culinary?

Well, many Uni offers courses.

Either you specialize in Culinary, Hotel management
But some school only offers Hotel management or Culinary.

Genericly,
Hotel Management focus on Front desk management, Operating Management, F&B management etc etc
Culinary mainly focus on F&B and Kitchen

Hotel management does touch culinary abit, but just very basic. mostly F&B management.

Dont expect all these course no need study, 100% physical activity.
You still have to study, Marketing, Economics, Finance, Accounting, F&B theory, Kitchen theory and etc

When you reach Degree,
It is mostly study, all about management, operating calculation, and etc
while culinary students will touch Mass services and etc

Please check out few of the Uni

http://university.kdu.edu.my/programmes/ho...m-culinary-arts
http://www.berjaya.edu.my/home/
https://university.taylors.edu.my/en/study/...ospitality.html

Well more in depth about hotel operation. all your studies is about Hotel and F&B.
You also need to complete your thesis.

But i do see many none Hotel Management people take up Sales, Marketing, HR, PR, Event management in hotel
