"I chose MIT because it was the only school where I could complete both the baking and patisserie training in one year, and it offered real-life experience through student-run shop days.
The lecturers were extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. Because of MIT’s excellent training and great facilities, I had the right skills to get a job straight after I finished the course.
