On the course you will complete mandatory modules that will teach you how to produce dough and batter, petits fours, paste products, hot, cold and frozen desserts, biscuits, cakes and sponges, as well as display pieces and decorative items.
Professional standards are expected at all times in our kitchens and as part of this we ask all students to purchase uniform and kitchen equipment before they start their course. You will be sent more information about how to order your kit before you start your course and financial support is available to help you with the costs if you qualify.
Throughout your modules you will also cover the principles of food safety and hygiene, and learn how to work effectively in a professional kitchen. At Kirklees College we operate a student-led restaurant, Landings 72, which is open to the public. You will help prepare desserts, pastries and cakes for the restaurant, café and deli which will equip you with work skills to prepare you to work in a real kitchen environment.
At the end of the course you will have extensively practiced a range of recipes which will prepare you to take the next steps in your career as a pattisiere.
