In case of Part-Time, You get two chances to cover up your classes and it has to be availed within six months.
 

We have the highest number of visiting Master Chef of the level of World Champion, MOF, Master Chocolatiers, etc. These classes are meant for the industry professionals. However, we do offer special discounts to our existing students and alumni.
 

We have an exclusive tie-up with hostels. They have been personally checked by our staff and we can confirm they are safe, hygienic and reasonable. Most of our outstation students stay there.
 

There are many institutes in India offering such courses. However, before you finalize, check out the following to compare: Number of hours: - We teach 40 Hours a week (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm) The teaching is almost 90% Hands-On - every student has to make their own product. All chef faculties have worked for leading hotel brands and are now working full time with the academy. APCA is an International Brand Name with 10 years of experience . Students get Two Weeks training in our Malaysia Academy after completing Advance Diploma in Pastry these Special classes are by our Master Chefs from Malaysia
 

Yes, you can appear for the exam within 3 years of time after the completion of the course. However, you will have to pay the fees every time you decide to appear for the exam.
 

C&G is recognized in close to 150 countries and most of the hotels recognize the certificate. Students will find it much easier if they go for the interview in India and abroad. We cover Level 2 & level 3 in Patisserie and Food Preparation, students can also continue to study abroad as once you are registered with City & Guilds your enrolment no. will be same to pursue any other course related to this field.
 

The level and salary differ from hotel brand to hotel brand, city to city and many other factors. It also depends on how you fare in your interview and trade test, etc. As a thumb rule, the stand-alone bakery tends to pay more than the hotels but the growth opportunities are higher in the hotels.
 

We love competition but the reality is there is no institute in India that we can compare ourselves with. A similar course in France or anywhere in Europe costs anywhere between 20-30 lakhs plus personal expenses. What sets us apart from our Indian counterparts is:
40 Hours per week of training - one of the highest in Asia
95% Hands-on training (which means the cost of ingredients is very high).
National and International chefs plus visiting faculty from our Malaysia Academy.
State of the art infrastructure, you need to see it to believe it.
Learning from the skilled international chefs.
 

In BHM, the topic covered ranges from Front Desk, Service, Housekeeping, and Food, etc. So, as such the time spent on training on food is limited and the Hands-On training is further limited. Hence, it is highly recommended for anybody who has made up his/ her mind to get into food/ want to change his stream to undergo our Advance Diploma in Culinary or/ and Pastry. We have many such students who have completed BHM undergoing the course. To name some we have students from IHM Aurangabad, Mumbai , Bangalore , Goa, Kolkata and more
