Le Cordon Bleu online professional learning is on your own terms. Study when it suits your busy schedule from anywhere in the world with no prerequisites beyond a passion for the culinary arts, gastronomy, management or hospitality, and high quality internet access.

With the rapid advancement of technology, society and consumer demand are driving the need for unique, tailored education that goes beyond core skills to establish expertise in specialised fields.

To keep up with emerging hospitality trends, industry professionals must embrace lifelong learning to meet industry and consumer expectations. The traditional learning model involves long-term study with face-to-face commitments, making it difficult for future-focused professionals to undertake further education in the format and timeframes they desire. With this in mind, Le Cordon Bleu is now offering flexible, short-term, online learning via an innovative learning portal called ENGAGE.
