SFBI Bread & Pastry Professional Training Programs
See what sets us apart.
Academic ExcellenceOur curriculum is based on the theory and science of baking. With a strong knowledge foundation, students learn to follow instructions, solve problems, and develop their own formulas.
Intense Hands-on Training and Real-World ScaleOur curriculum includes an exceptionally high level of hands-on training. Nothing is just demonstrated—students actively create each formula. Students bake in high volume to develop strong production skills. For example, each student produces more than a thousand loaves of bread, hundreds of croissants and cookies, and dozens upon dozens of classic and specialty cakes, pies, tarts, quick breads, petit fours, confections, frozen desserts, plated desserts, and chocolates.
Focused Individual AttentionWe commit to small class sizes. Our 16-student limit fosters invaluable personal instruction.
Advanced Equipment and Spacious ClassroomsSFBI’s open facility provides plenty of room to practice. Our diverse and technologically-advanced equipment prepares graduates to use equipment found in any restaurant or bakery.
Independent Access Professional Program students can use bakery classrooms during weekends to perfect skills and experiment.
