Le Cordon Bleu Malaysia - Basic Certificate Courses (3 Months)

The earlier you apply for a course the greater is the possibility of enrolling on the course of your choice and preferred commencement term. A confirmed place will only be given when the final payment is cleared – we strongly suggest that you pay your outstanding balance at least 30days before the course begins to secure a place for the programme of your desire. Should a course be full, applicants will be placed on a waitlist and will be contacted should a place be available. Seats for the course is strictly on a first-come-first-served basis. If a place on a chosen course does not become available, Waiting List applicants will be offered that course at the next term.

To apply for the course, potential students have to be at least 17 years of age when the course starts.

No, all the courses are taught in English. However, there are some French culinary terms and specialised vocabulary used for certain cooking techniques and methods which you might need to know and they will be taught in the class. We would recommend students who are interested in learning the French terms to buy a French Culinary Dictionary for future reference purposes or take up French lessons at Alliance Francaise the cultural and art centre arm of the French Embassy.

We require the application to have an intermediate level of English language skills in listening, speaking and writing to be able to read resource materials online, produce their own portfolio plus learn effectively and communicate with your Chef Instructors and classmates. English language proficiency test is required if the student did not obtain a pass in English. In such cases, an interview will be conducted to gauge the student proficiency in English and should the need arise we will advise the student to undergo the English Proficiency Test.

After submitting the application form together with payment of application fees, you should receive a ‘Letter of Offer’ through email which includes program payment details within 7 working days. If you have not received your letter after the stipulated date, please contact us at malaysia@cordonbleu.edu or Tel (603) 5632 1188.

International students are allowed under immigration rules to work for 20 hours a week in the approved industry whilst taking their course, for continual practice to help fund their course partially. We would recommend an approved list of F&B establishments who take in part-time student workers to gain valuable industry experience.

Students taking the Diplôme Programmes will find it hard to work as they will be heavily committed to lessons in their weekly class schedule. Students should be careful not to let their work commitment distract them from their studies in the School.
