a) Nope, no PRE-U necessary. 3 credits in your SPM are the minimum requirements to take a diploma in culinary arts/hotel management/tourism management. To continue on to degree, you'd need either STPM or your diploma which you have taken

b) Taylor's College school of Hospitality and Tourism operates in the PJ campus, namely the Bali building or Kurnia. Its located in Setia Jaya and is accessible by KTM via the Setia Jaya station. You go to France for a 2 week residency program at the end of your degree year, which is your fourth year However you can opt to go for industrial trainings in France provided you are really really good at what you do.

c) Yes, the basics are covered but if you have zero experience/knowledge what makes you think this is the course for you? Trust me, just liking to cook is not necessarily good for you. But they will teach you anyways.

Added on April 5, 2009, 12:00 am1) yes its quite fun if you enjoy these kind of things. however, if you think its just pure cooking then you're wrong because they actually teach you many other things like food science and business math so you turn out to be an all rounder who can not only cook but do a lot more.

2) um this one im not sure sorry

3) yes you can opt to work with a diploma

4) degree in culinary arts has not yet been introduced yet but the degree that the college offers has 2 options for you to pick. If you graduate with a diploma in Culinary Arts, you are usually allowed to choose between option A and B, and B is the food part of this degree. Option A is more for the rooms division etc students

5) Uh i dont understand your question

For question 5, I'm stpm student so it's possible to skip diploma and head straight to degree level but without diploma(basic skills of kitchen) can i still opt to be a chef?

I was told that going this route would lead me to a 3 year degree program in Taylor, instead of 2 year. the option of A or B is supposed to be in year 2 tho

1)Nope, straight forward 2 years diploma program. If u had Pre-u/STPM u could skip Diploma and take Higher Dip 3 years to finish Degree.

2) Its on Setia Jaya near Mentari Court there. not the main campus. France it just a tour to there have a experience on France, how the Toulouse Student life there experience the life over there. and its just like a vacation of course.

3)yes, step by step basic. Advance baking and pastry learn by ur self. i learn all the stuff by myself. trough books and experience. i have less interest on hot cooking but then i still like it so much. because i loveee Cooking.

1) it depends, 1st u feel the fun by then u feel the suffer. it could be ur hobby? or will u be it a job for u? hmmm? think about it. Dont take hobby and job together its big different.

2)it depends on ur result SPM/O level/ STPM / A-level. Most of my friends get scholarship o loan.

3) yes u can, but then if just DIploma u cant get to Exec Chef which is the highest rank in kitchen. but then if u got experience to open ur own shop why still need degree? hmm?

4)yup, taylors trying to get Degree in CA what i hear the rumors talking about it.

5)plz state ur question clearly, but then if u got Degree u sure got the knowledge about cooking. and depends if u take Taylors Degree program they got 2 choices, OPtion a/b. which is Management or Engineering F&B

Thx Julian, Going to term 6 tmr Good Luck.


As i said Taylors offered Degree program Op A/B they will cover cooking teaching from basic to the end. NO ned to worried. Cheers
