Turn years of hands-on cake and pastry baking experience into the FBP30321 Certificate III in Cake and Pastry, a nationally recognised qualification describing the skills and knowledge of a pastry cook who bakes cake, pastry and biscuit products in a commercial baking environment. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) allows your experience baking and decorating cakes, pastries and biscuits to food safety standards to be formally assessed against this qualification rather than starting your learning over. Once your evidence is assessed and confirmed by our partner RTO, you hold the same AQF-recognised Certificate III as anyone who completed the qualification through classroom-based study.
