The future of hospitality education arrives in 2026

Le Cordon Bleu Australia is excited to announce the launch of Diplôme CordonTec, an innovative new program set to roll out across selected campuses in 2026. Designed for the next generation of chefs, food entrepreneurs and hospitality leaders, CordonTec blends world-class culinary training with the latest in sustainability and industry-ready innovation.

For decades, Le Cordon Bleu has set the global standard in culinary and hospitality education. With CordonTec, we’re taking the next bold step, equipping students with the skills, techniques and forward-thinking mindset needed for a rapidly evolving industry.

What is Diplôme CordonTec?

Diplôme CordonTec is much more than a standard culinary program. Rather than focusing on one area of expertise, it integrates four key disciplines:

  • Cuisine
  • Pâtisserie
  • Boulangerie (breadmaking)
  • Service (front-of-house skills)

This comprehensive program is designed to immerse students in all facets of hospitality, preparing them not only in the kitchen, but with the practical service skills needed to thrive in the industy.

Students will have the opportunity to learn in real-world settings with a four-week placement, work hands-on with advanced equipment and be mentored by expert lecturers who are leaders in their fields.

Why Diplôme CordonTec?

As Australia’s food and hospitality landscape continues to evolve, the industry needs professionals who can not only master classic culinary skills, but understand all facets of the industry. CordonTec responds to this demand by preparing students to:

  • Thrive in modern commercial kitchens
  • Navigate various hospitality environments
  • Innovate new food concepts
  • Meet the growing call for environmentally responsible cooking

Diplôme CordonTec will begin rolling out to Le Cordon Bleu Australia campuses in 2026, with more details, including available locations and enrolment timelines, to be announced soon.
