OVERVIEW

This course offers you the opportunity to develop your kitchen skills in the specific areas of patisserie and confectionary. You will also learn about front of house and beverage services. Your lessons will take place in the bakery, production kitchen and in Landings 72, our restaurant that is open to the public.
Our chef lecturers will teach you basic bakery skills, such as baking biscuits, cakes and sponges. You will also learn more complex skills like making petit fours, paste products and display pieces and decorative courses. As part of the course, you will also develop your skills to produce hot, cold and frozen desserts, alongside dough and batter products.
Outside of the bakery, you will spend time working in Landings 72 learning about the customer side of running a café/restaurant. You will develop your front of house skills through studying customer service and barista training. The course also teaches you the importance of dish planning, costings and general operations.
You will get access to talks from visiting chefs and others who work in the catering industry to share their expertise and knowledge. Previous visiting chefs have included a master chocolatier and the owner of a successful outside catering company.
