Certificate in Baking (Dual Enrolment)

Gain baking skills for further study or employment, while you're still at school.

Dual Enrolment programmes are FREE if you're in Years 11, 12 or 13 and a great way to earn NCEA credits and get a feel for tertiary study, while you’re still at school.

This Dual Enrolment qualification is designed as a pathway into the Certificate in Baking (Generalist) Level 4.

Highly practical, it will equip you with basic bakery skills in biscuits, breads, cakes and pastries. You’ll learn from expert tutors who will teach you how to create a range of traditional and contemporary bakery products within our real-world training environments. You’ll also meet and learn from industry professionals, and showcase your creations to friends, whānau and customers at events throughout the year.

This qualification is endorsed by the World Association of Chefs Societies under their Recognition of Quality Culinary Education. World Chefs has over 10M members in 106 countries worldwide.

Upon successful completion of this programme you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to obtain junior positions within commercial bakery environments.
