The Programes Professionals, amateurs and gastronomic enthusiasts come to Le Cordon
Bleu for a superior culinary education. All instructions are given by Master
Chefs. Most of them have earned numerous awards and distinctions
throughout their careers and have been invited as judges at international
culinary competitions. At Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School, students
at all levels learn from the Chef�s expertise, experience and personal
interpretation of the culinary arts.
The Grand Diplôme, the core of Le Cordon Bleu�s curriculum, is
considered to be the most intensive and comprehensive training in classic
French cuisine and pastry techniques available today, offering as many
practical hours in teaching kitchens where each student, under the guidance
and supervision of a chef, independently prepares a dish from start to
finish.
Le Cordon Bleu Chefs teach sophisticated culinary techniques and influence
the newest trends in gastronomy. The Le Cordon Bleu Classic Cycle teaches
students to progressively discover and ultimately master the basics of
French Cuisine and Patisserie in a complete and systematic manner. They
consist of two different but contemporary cycles: the Cuisine Cycle and
the Patisserie Cycle.
The focus of the Diploma of Professional Culinary Management is specifically
geared to the international culinary industry. This innovative Le Cordon
Bleu course offers comprehensive training in either cuisine or patisserie.
Underpinned with academic studies in the fundamentals of front line management,
combined with work experience, this course is considered a world leader
in culinary education.
Cuisines of the World provide students with a culinary journey that
includes a taste of cuisines from Asia, Europe and the Americas. These
courses will be offered at Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School starting
in 2008.
