  • prepare cakes and pastries
  • create gateaux, torten and cakes
  • make yeast-based bakery products
  • produce petits fours

You’ll also learn key skills to assist in the day-to-day running of a business, such as how to:

  • manage conflict
  • manage finances within a budget
  • coach others in job skills
  • lead and manage people
  • monitor work operations

If you’re a citizen or permanent resident of Australia and meet the selection criteria, you may have the opportunity to complete a semester of this course overseas with one of our Global Education Network (GEN) partners in the United States of America or Canada.
