This year, NZ Bakels are introducing the first of their Advanced Baking Courses in conjunction with the prestigious Richemont Bakery School of Lucerne Switzerland.
The dates for the first course, Advanced Baking Course Bread, are 5th July to 16th July and will be tutored by a Bakery Tutor from Richemont, Mr Thomas Doetkotte assisted by Bakels Head Bakery Tutor Mr Malcolm Cook. This first course will concentrate on Artisan breads and prior to the course taking place we will be carrying out a training run at our site in Auckland in March.

Each of the courses offered will be for 2 weeks and we will be pleased to take applications for the first Bread Course in July.
From 2011 onwards we will be offering further courses - Confectionery/Creative Cakes, Pastry Shop and Bakery Management.
NZ Bakels also conducts day release and week long Training Courses, to provide the Students with their off job training.
These are run in conjunction with Plant & Food and are Industry Training Organisation Unit Standards approved by NZ Qualifications Authority.
The unit standards cover Level 2 to Level 4 taking the student from the start of their apprenticeship to the final stages. To ensure that all unit standards are achieved, extra study needs to be completed with evidence of these achievements. For example, the unit standards studied in the block courses require a minimum of 310 hours of practice in the workplace over a three year period. Through these training courses a National Certificate in Food Production Baking can be obtained.

PTE (Private Training Establishment) from 2011
NZ Bakels are currently applying to become a PTE (Private Training Establishment) and will be registered directly with the NZ Qualifications Authority. This will then allow us to become a one stop-shop for bakery trainees offering the Block Courses, Distance Learning and on job assessment services. The training will be carried out by our team of 3 tutors in Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch as it is now but in addition our team of sales representatives throughout the country will be fully informed and able to assist with information on the courses and full support and guidance for the training.
