The program at Le Cordon Bleu Melbourne is delivered in association with Holmesglen, Chadstone Campus.
Melbourne has a population of almost 4.3 million and is currently Australia’s fastest growing city. It is home to residents from more than 140 nations, making it one of the world’s most harmonious and culturally diverse cities.
The city is a ‘foodie’s paradise’ and Melbourne is justly recognised as the culinary capital of Australia. Cafés and restaurants serve up the world’s cuisines in a vast array of settings and at mostly accessible prices.
Le Cordon Bleu Melbourne's Institute of Culinary Arts has been delivering cuisine and patisserie programs in Melbourne since July 2015 at the Holmesglen Moorabbin Campus. It is located in the heart of the bayside region of Melbourne, approximately 30 minutes from the city centre. Le Cordon Bleu study programmes are conducted in fully-equipped kitchens, as well as bakery and restaurant facilities.
Le Cordon Bleu's Higher Education programs are taught at its Chadstone campus, approximately 20 minutes from Melbourne's city centre. While it is a residential suburb with parks and leafy green spaces, Chadstone is predominantly known for hosting Chadstone Shopping Centre - the largest mall in the Southern Hemisphere. This shopping centre is a major draw for both local residents and tourists, offering a wide array of retail, dining, and entertainment options.
As part of the one-on-one tour you will view our state-of-the-art teaching facilities, learn about our unique Culinary arts and have the opportunity to talk directly to Le Cordon Bleu representatives.

The Le Cordon Bleu business degree is industry-specific which is why I chose it, after looking at the subjects my parents felt the practicality of the subjects would really benefit my future career.
As an alumni it’s really good to know you have these great connections all over the world, it’s a massive community. Everywhere you go you find these great people in the industry who are also from Le Cordon Bleu.
If someone had told me that eight years after graduating I would have worked in six or seven hotels, with each position different and better than the previous, I would never have believed them.
The practical side of the degree got me the job as a hospitality manager and the business theory helped me launch my online business.
