Certificate III in Hospitality (Patisserie)

1 Year Full Time

Qualifying as a patissier is new and innovative in Western Australia. This new trade qualification was approved by the Department of Training and Workplace Development in March 2010. This certificate provides you with the Chef Patissier qualification including a practical industry placement, students are also required to complete a minimum of 250 hours of employment.

After completing the qualification students are required to gain relevant on-the-job experience in a pastry kitchen. Following completion of the appropriate industry experience and a RPL assessment (refer to page 9), students can apply for the ASCA Trade Patissier qualification.

Benefits

The Certificate III in Hospitality (Patisserie) is equivalent to the off-the-job training of the Chef Patissier apprenticeship. The course includes industry internships providing you the necessary on-the-job experience in a pastry kitchen.

The process of qualifying with trade equivalence may take up to 3 years, however students are employed throughout this time in the industry gaining substantial and relevant experience. The placements are organised by ASCA.
