PME Diploma Courses & Masters Certificate are internationally recognised awards.
They are ideal for those thinking of selling cakes either to family and friends, as a commercial business or for anyone who would like an official qualification for their skills.
There are 3 modules and each module includes at least 25 hours tuition covering a broad range of skills and techniques. On successful completion of each module and attainment of the required standard, the Diploma certificate is awarded. Each module is a separate course and students can choose to take an individual module or two or all three as they wish. Techniques and skills covered do not overlap between modules.
Students that successfully gain their diploma certificates in all three modules are awarded a Masters certificate.
Instalment payments are available for these courses (please ask for details). For students completing all 3 modules with us, we are pleased to offer a 10% discount off of the course fee for the final module which will be applied at the time of paying the final balance for the third module.
