    If you want to learn pastry cake skills that can be based in the pastry industry, choosing to learn at school is the best way to learn.

    Many people want to be an apprentice, thinking that being an apprentice can get paid and learn skills, it's beautiful to think about!

    However, as an apprentice, you may just go to do chores, and the main task of an apprentice is to work rather than study, so since you are not skilled at home, the job you can do is to do chores for the master. According to apprentices who have been in the industry for 3 years, more than 95% of apprentices can only be formally exposed to production technology after 3-5 years of experience.

    It's just a touch, it's not that you've learned it or someone has really taught you.

    Not to mention how long it will take to formally learn. In terms of learning conditions alone, it is difficult to guarantee the quality and technical strength of the master in the store and it is very single, and it is likely that you will only have a little bit of skin after learning, not to mention that some masters deliberately have reservations when teaching.

    As we all know, learning baking is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, learning baking not only requires accumulation, but also rich practice.

    As the saying goes, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice; Sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, which indicates that in this learning process, excellent instructors, advanced professional equipment and systematic course training can help you learn better skills.

    It is a right choice to learn baking and go to school for systematic learning. Especially if you want to specialize in the baking industry, you should choose a professional training school to study.

    It is recommended that you go to a western restaurant (or steakhouse) in a star-rated hotel to study, but you also have to specialize in theoretical things, and you need to understand a general idea before studying. There are also foreign languages, and some common words in restaurants need to be memorized. I studied Western food in a five-star hotel before, Italian cuisine, the head chef is French, and in 3 months, I was able to operate something independently.

    In fact, there is no national certification of the Western food chef certificate, but some local associations will have assessment standards, and what the school has tested is of little significance.

    It is recommended to go to a specialized western food school. Western restaurants are generally very busy, and apprentices are basically doing some chores and other trivial work, and there is little time for studying. Moreover, if you don't have a foundation, you will be more confused if you don't know anything to become an apprentice.

    In school, teachers will arrange the learning progress according to the situation, find problems in time, and guide teaching.

    When searching for a Western chef training course on the Internet, I sometimes see an answer like going to a Western restaurant as an apprentice, but is this really the best policy? Is it true that you can learn a lot by going on as an apprentice?

    As the saying goes, the apprentice is taught to starve to death to the master, not to mention that the kitchen is so busy that there is no time to teach you, even if you want to teach you, you will have reservations, and will only teach you some simple knowledge.

    Compared with the store, the professional pastry training school is aimed at cultivating practical and skilled talents, and the quality construction of the teaching staff has become the key to the survival and development of the school. With a strong teaching team and a scientific and reasonable course arrangement, the learning effect of students is fully guaranteed.

    As the saying goes, "a teacher is famous", and a well-known teacher with many years of experience will give students professional skills and provide guidance from a professional point of view.

It is recommended to go to school to study.

Because apprenticeship is slow to learn, and apprentices are mainly work-oriented, you rarely have time to learn, and even if you have time, it depends on whether the chef has time. >>>More
