Everything You Need to Know
Is the certificate internationally recognised?
Yes, students on our short courses and intensive weekend programmes earn a certificate of completion from The Food School and the respective partner school (ALMA, Tsuji, or Dusit Thani for Italian, Japanese, or Thai Cuisine, respectively). Dedicated Certificated Courses provide certification from the partner school and a certificate by The Office of The Private Education Commission (OPEC), compliant with international food safety and sanitation standards.
Do I need prior experience to join the long courses at The Food School?
Not at all! Our long courses are designed to accommodate all skill levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience in the kitchen, all we need is your passion and we’ll guide you through harnessing it into your career, every step of the way.
Are most students chefs or restaurant owners?
Not exactly. Our students come from various backgrounds and have different levels of knowledge in each cuisine. We don’t require students to have a specific amount of understanding to enrol, and we welcome all students to join.
What languages are the courses taught in?
Italian, Thai, and Japanese cuisine courses are taught in English, Thai, and Japanese, respectively, with interpreting services available in English and Thai upon request.
Can you study across different cuisines?
We designed our curriculum through a competency-based not quality-based system so that you’ll gain the most extensive training per cuisine. This means that when you register for a certain programme, you’ll focus on that cuisine to master it first. If you want to enrol on our other programmes, we recommend that you enrol once you complete your current programme or register for our Personalised Course.
Is there a campus visit option before enrolling?
Of course! Our Admissions Team is always on standby to support you in booking a personalised school tour whenever you want. Not sure which course to take? Take a leisurely stroll through our school with our curriculum advisors to discover the perfect culinary or pastry programme that suits you most.
