7 Curriculum
The detailed curriculum, synoptic tables, academic guidelines, course learning objectives and plans for each of the different programmes will be defined in due course as part of the pre-opening activities outlined in the “CPF – Culinary School Development Work Scope”.
Structure
o The curriculum is designed in a way that students can either choose single modules according to their needs and wants or choose to combine all certificates and then achieve a diploma
Two tiered system
o There are specific courses for different levels of training and supporting courses that teach fundamentals of English, IT, or accounting
o The split between principal courses and support courses has been made to achieve a maximum learning effect for the students.
Whilst the principal courses students are enrolled to are separat from other principal courses the support courses are joined between different certificate courses. This structure is preferrable as students will be adjoined to an English course according to their English level rather than having a classed with mixed levels
Operational efficiencies can be achieved when structuring the courses this way. Fewer teachers are needed for delivery of courses, while the quality rises.
Accreditation
o The courses should all be recognized by the Ministry of education of Thailand
7.1 The Organization of the Faculty
The faculty is divided into two; the teachers responsible for the practical courses report to the head of operations (executive chef) whereas the teachers responsible for academics report to the academic supervisor who is also the dean of the faculty
This separation of the teachers, theory and practical allows operations to be more flexible in their planning and management faculty to better coordinate activities outside of class; unique pedagogical approaches, research, training, etc. However, both sectors will work together to ensure the overall quality of training
