Course programme

Year 1

You will start to develop the skills you have learnt from your level 2 programme, by producing technically complex 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 progression onto a level 4 course.

Additional information

You will undertake a formal exam which will include: methods of cookery, commodities, food safety and health and safety. Your practical skills will be assessed with a three part synoptic test. Part one will take the form of a planning session, part two will be a practical assessment and part three will summarise your overall assessment performance. Assessments will be externally marked by the awarding body.
