What Enderun Extension does

Enderun Extension is the continuing education and professional development arm of Enderun Colleges Inc., a private educational institution headquartered in Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It operates as a multi-vertical lifelong learning platform offering more than 20 short courses, certificate programs, and diploma programs across culinary arts, pastry arts, language training, professional certifications, and corporate training. The flagship culinary and pastry programs are delivered in partnership with École Ducasse, the institution founded by Alain Ducasse (21+ Michelin stars), making Enderun the first École Ducasse campus outside France and its regional hub in Asia. Additional certificate pathways include WSET wine credentials (Enderun is the sole authorized provider in the Philippines), Pearson VUE-administered certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft Azure, AWS, PMI), ServSafe food safety, and various language programs (English, Korean TOPIK, Mandarin, Spanish, Japanese, French, Filipino, German).

The institution operates three physical sites: the main McKinley Hill campus in Taguig for culinary/pastry training, the Podium Mall site in Mandaluyong for Spanish language classes, and the Estancia Mall site in Pasig housing language programs, the Pearson VUE testing center, and The Study by Enderun Colleges. Technology infrastructure includes a Learning Management System (LMS) supporting the Blended Learning Programs with rolling enrollment, an AI chatbot (HANI) for the TOPIK Korean program, and a simulation-based Agile Sandbox workshop environment. Programs range from 2-hour workshops (PhP 750-3,000) to 10-month Grand Diplomas (PhP 1.0M-1.3M+), with payment via credit card, GCash, Maya, GrabPay, and BDO Credit Card installment plans.

The business model is diversified across four primary revenue streams: (1) course tuition and enrollment fees (largest stream, spanning individual learners and corporations), (2) custom corporate training contracts sold through a consultative sales motion targeting HR/L&D leaders, (3) Pearson VUE certification exam administration fees, and (4) bundled professional certification exam preparation programs. The customer base is fragmented across working professionals seeking upskilling, international ESL students from over 10 countries, aspiring chefs, corporate enterprises, and youth programs. The institution is privately held by Enderun Colleges Inc. with no disclosed external institutional investors.
