Level 2 Diploma in Food Preparation and Culinary Arts – Patisserie (Pro Pastry)

SCAFA’s Professional Pastry program is the region’s only curriculum dedicated to teaching pastry to students aspiring to attain professional pastry standards. Classes run 5 days a week from Monday to Friday for 13 weeks. SCAFA’s Pro Pastry program is a combination of five teaching modules followed by a two week module comprising practical and online assessments. The program focuses on the key areas of bakery, pastry, cakes and desserts. By structuring our Pro Pastry program in this way students are able to decide if they want to focus on a particular area of interest, or, accomplish the full range of skills accompanied by an international diploma. When taken as a complete set of modules this is a 400+ hour program that focuses entirely on pastry and related areas such as the science behind pastry, pastry and baking basics, measurements, cake decorating, chocolate, sugar work, hot and cold desserts, bread and much more.

We believe that students who join our program would be gaining one or all of these 4 critical areas:

Building extensive knowledge about the pastry kitchen and the techniques of a pastry chef
• Build speed in being able to manage multiple tasks at one time and being able to produce results faster
• Build organization skills in managing work space and cleanliness of work space
• Being a good team player for joint tasks in the pastry programme (catering activity) as well as a good leader during the catering project week of the program.
Students completing individual modules are awarded a certification from SCAFA.

Students that complete all 5 modules and the final two weeks of assessment achieve a SCAFA Certification, attendance certificates are attested by KHDA.
