Course programme

Year 1

You will start with the basics, beginning with homemade pastry, basic breads and meringue. This will progress onto enriched doughs, artisan breads, egg-based tarts and more complex desserts. There will also be an introduction to chocolate, learning to produce homemade petit fours and the art of tempering. As a team we will produce all pastry and dessert products for our rosette-standard restaurant, all of which will provide you with an impressive portfolio of recipes, methods and techniques as you prepare for employment or further study on a level 3 course.

The practical units are assessed via observations. These will run alongside five units that are assignment based. The qualification is gained through the completion of units. There will be individual practical tasks throughout the year ending with a synoptic assessment whereby you will have to produce four dishes within a strict timeframe.
