We offer National Certificates in:

Baking
The National Certificate in Baking levels 2, 3 and 4. This is a combination of workplace learning, off job assessment and Distance Learning. The off job assessments are practical courses that are attended by apprentices or those with relevant experience in the baking industry. To achieve the National Certificate in baking you must be working in the baking industry or have previous experience in the baking industry.

The Distance Learning courses consist of theory unit standards and anyone can enrol in these courses.
