Most lectures are in English. Handouts, audio-visual aids such as whiteboard, powerpoint, and videos are used to assist the lecturer. Class participation is encouraged.

2. Culinary Training (5 weeks)–

(A) Demonstration Class–In the morning chef instructors will explain and demonstrate how to cook each dish
