An accelerated training programme at Le Cordon Bleu Paris Institute

At Le Cordon Bleu Paris Institute, the Cuisine Diploma and the Pastry Diploma are taught over a period of 9 months (standard format). Each Diploma is made up of 3 certificates that correspond to 3 different levels: Basic, Intermediate and Superior. 

Le Cordon Bleu offers an accelerated programme to those wishing to complete their training over a shorter period, about 6 months. These are the intensive diplomas. 

What are intensive diplomas?

The intensive programmes have the same curriculum as the standard progammes and the fees are the same. The difference is in the timing, providing fast track training. Each certificate takes place over a period of 6 weeks, 6 to 12 hours per day, 6 days a week. 

You may also sign up for a single certificate and return at a later date to complete your training and obtain your whole diploma. In the intensive session, you may only choose one discipline (Cuisine or Pastry) and only the Basic (Cuisine or Pastry) and Intermediate (Cuisine or Pastry) certificates are offered as intensive programmes.
