This full or part time Asian cooking course training program is designed to introduce students to basic culinary skills and to teach the most popular Asian culinary arts such as Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean dishes.  Instruction, recipes, and training materials are in English.  After graduation, assistance is provided to students in obtaining internships at a resort or hotel.  Internships are sometimes paid along with having free accommodations and eats provided.  Internships are elective, not guaranteed, and difficult to obtain these days until tourists are allowed back into Thailand.  Job placement assistance is provided free of charge for students successfully completing this training. Classes are small, and lots of personal attention is available.
