Overview

Become a qualified pastry chef or pâtissier, with the Certificate III in Patisserie SIT31021 at Victoria University.

Through a mixture of study and practical learning, you'll discover how to:

decorate cakes and sponges with glazes, crystallised fruits, inscriptions and icings
make specialty cakes such as gateaux, entremets and tortens
produce sweet and savoury baked goods
create delicious fillings like buttercream, custard, ganache and frangipane
develop your own basic recipes.

You'll also have the opportunity to experience working in a commercial kitchen at VU's on-campus training restaurant, VenU.

: This qualification reflects the role of pastry chefs who use a wide range of well-developed patisserie skills and sound knowledge of kitchen operations to produce patisserie products. Using discretion and judgement, they work with some independence and under limited supervision using plans, policies and procedures to guide work activities.

This qualification provides a pathway to work in various organisations where patisserie products are prepared and served, including patisseries, restaurants, hotels, catering operations, clubs, pubs, cafés and coffee shops.

This course is nationally recognised training.
