The art and craft of artisan bread making and traditional boulangerie is a much-needed skill and our Boulangerie programme provides an outlet to service the ever-increasing worldwide demand. We have introduced a specialised two-term, part-time, program to focus on skilled techniques of classical Boulangerie, mastered by the French so many years ago.
This boulangerie course aims to provide you with the classical and practical skills of Boulangerie arts, kitchen management, and gastronomy. Across the course, you will learn a large variety of Boulangerie techniques like classical and artisan doughs such as traditional baguette and tourte auvergante (100% French rye bread), laminated and rich dough such as croissant and brioche, and creating and managing your different pre-ferment such as poolish and your own starter cultures for sourdough bread.
Our Boulangerie Diploma will provide you with knowledge of all aspects of the Boulangerie trade with classical and modern techniques. You will learn through workshops with embedded theory, and on site industry visits.
