Testimonials

What I enjoyed the most about my course was the practical side because I’m artistic and creative and eventually I want to open my own pâtisserie.

Dean Curkovic - Diplôme Avancé de Gestion Culinaire - Pâtisserie (SIT60316 Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management)
As soon as we filmed our MasterChef Australia episode inside Le Cordon Bleu with Chef Andre Sandison, I knew I wanted to study there. I loved the support, knowledge and facilities on offer and couldn't wait to be a part of such a fantastic learning environment.

Julia Taylor - Diplôme de Pâtisserie (SIT31016 Certificate III in Patisserie)
The most important things I learned at Le Cordon Bleu were the skills in Pâtisserie and how to work efficiently as a team.
