Online Baking Courses Just Don’t Cut It!

Instead of Online Baking Courses, rather Enjoy an Enriching Prue Leith Experience

Instead of online baking courses, we believe in teaching both the practical and theoretical components of baking from our world-class campus allowing for an immersive, real-world cooking experience. A quick search on our website can open a world of possibilities when it comes to baking courses. Our courses at Prue Leith Culinary Institute are available as both part-time and full-time options.

For those aspiring culinary artists, enrol for our full-time Professional Patisserie course and enter the professional realm as a qualified pastry chef. Unlike online baking courses, our options allow students to truly experience the dynamic of a professional kitchen environment by, among others, working with state-of-the-art equipment that they will use daily in their prospective jobs.

For those interested in expanding their baking skills to boast their prowess when hosting decadent high teas at home or festive Christmas parties, you can enjoy a range of short courses for an enriching day with friends in our kitchen.
