CTH Level 2 Diploma in Patisserie & Confectionery Skills

This introductory Level 2 culinary qualification focuses on many aspects of Patisserie and Confectionery cooking - from chocolate work, dough kneading, filling and piping and much more.

The aim of this specialist Patisserie and Confectionery Skills qualification is to introduce learners to the core skills needed to work in a professional kitchen. Through the course, students will be taught general kitchen practices including food hygiene and menu planning, as well as more specific skills such as chocolate work and pastry making.

By exposing learners to professional cooking equipment and a professional kitchen environment they will begin to understand the appropriate conditions to prepare, cook and store food. This will ultimately mean that their transition from the classroom to a commercial kitchen will be seamless.

The variety of ingredients used, tools handled and techniques learned during this qualification will help students to graduate from the course as well-rounded cooks whose chances of employment are much higher than when they first enrolled.
