Our graduates went to the world to lead kitchens in Michelin-starred restaurants, five-star hotels, and even their own businesses.
What to Expect at Le Cordon Bleu Sunway?
Thinking of enrolling? Let’s dive into the details with your 10 burning questions answered:
1. What is the student-to-chef ratio in practical classes?
Le Cordon Bleu Sunway keeps class sizes small with a maximum of 16 students to ensure every student gets hands-on, personalised guidance. This means students have more time with the chefs, more opportunities to master techniques, and a better overall learning experience — something you might not get in any other culinary arts universities.
2. How much individual attention will I get from instructors?
At Le Cordon Bleu Sunway, students get plenty of one-on-one time with instructors due to our smaller class size. This approach allows chefs to tailor their guidance to each student’s needs, ensuring you get undivided attention. Whether you’re mastering the art of hollandaise or nailing that perfect caramelisation on your crème brûlée, your instructors will be by your side every step of the way.
3. What kind of kitchen facilities and equipment will I be using?
The kitchens at Le Cordon Bleu Sunway are equipped with professional-grade tools and appliances, so you’ll be working with the same high-quality commercial equipment found in top restaurants and hotels like Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, and others. From high-precision stoves to industrial pastry mixers, you’ll have everything you need to master both classic French techniques and modern innovations.
4. Are students trained to use equipment commonly found in Michelin-starred restaurants and five-star hotels?
Yes — you’ll train with advanced tools and technology that are standard in luxury establishments worldwide. When you step into a professional kitchen after graduation, you won’t feel out of place.
5. How are the lessons structured? Are classes mostly practical, or do they include theoretical components?
Expect a balanced mix of both. While practical cooking is the heart of the curriculum, theory lessons ensure you understand the “why” behind each method — from food science to flavour balancing to kitchen safety. This well-rounded approach is what makes us one of the top choices for a culinary arts course in Malaysia.
6. Will I have to do written exams, or is the assessment based on cooking performance?
Both! For us, practical and theory go hand in hand. It is not just a typical culinary class near you. We want you to be the best in the industry. Written and objective exams are not to overwhelm you, but to make sure you understand culinary principles inside and out.
7. Are students required to follow recipes exactly, or is creativity encouraged?
To break the rules, you need to first understand them. At first, you’ll focus on mastering the foundations. Once you’ve got those down pat, be ready to be creative. We teach you the rules — then inspire you to break them and create dishes that showcase your unique personality and culture.
8. Will I get the chance to intern at a restaurant or hotel during my studies?
Yes — and at some of the best spots in the industry! Le Cordon Bleu Sunway partners with renowned restaurants and luxury hotels, including Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis, Michelin Starred Speciality Restaurants like DC Restaurant, Molina, and Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill. Internships give you real-world experience, teaching you skills you can’t pick up in a classroom — like managing a busy dinner service or working alongside an experienced kitchen brigade.
9. Are there guest chef masterclasses or industry workshops?
Absolutely! Le Cordon Bleu Sunway regularly invites celebrated chefs as guest chefs — both local and international — to host special masterclasses. It’s a chance to learn exclusive techniques, hear industry insights, and even network with influential chefs who could open doors for your future career.
10. Do students get to learn kitchen management and leadership skills for career advancement?
Yes — Le Cordon Bleu Sunway doesn’t just train you to be an excellent cook; it prepares you to be a leader too. Students complete each recipe from start to finish individually, rather than working on only one aspect of the recipe. This ensures you master every single step of every recipe, giving you a complete, hands-on learning experience.
Then you’ll also gain essential management and leadership skills, learning how to run a kitchen, design menus, and manage teams — key abilities if you’re aiming to become a head chef or open your own restaurant.
