The Worshipful Company of Bakers announces a Summer Short Course: July 21-26th 2025 at the Baking Akademie at Weinheim in Germany.
The Akademie of German Bakers in Weinheim is the central educational institution of the German Bakers Guild and the German Craft Bakers Association; and is recognised as the premier School for Master Bakers in Germany. The Akademie is not only the state-approved school for master bakers, but it is the centre for training the German National Bakery Team that competes all round the world.
The Worshipful Company of Bakers is delighted to announce that a Professional Bakers Summer Short Course will take place at the Weinheim Akademie in July 2025 and invites bakery students and trainees to apply for bursary assisted places. The course will be conducted in English. The bursary covers the costs of the round trip from London Heathrow to the Akademie, school fees, accommodation and meals; and a set of bakery whites.
This course is offered to bakery students, apprentices and trainees in the industry from the UK and Ireland only. The course is open to college students who have completed their course and have at least one year of work experience/work placement at a commercial bakery, or trainees who have the equivalent level of a workplace-based training course or apprenticeship.
The closing date for applications is Friday 28th February 2025.
