Bakery Manager (bol)

As a certified bakery manager, you can work at a traditional bakery or a bakery or pastry shop. You can also continue on to a higher professional education program, such as the Teacher Training Program or the HAS University of Applied Sciences. You can also continue on to the Pastry Chef or Boulanger program at Summa if you haven't yet earned a diploma. 

You'll attend school four days a week. You'll also complete a one-day internship at an accredited training company. For each 4-week academic term, you'll complete a one-week internship and one exam week, during which you'll return to school for exams. If you don't have exams, you'll complete an internship.

The Education and Examination Regulations (OER) of a course specify what you will be doing in which period, how much time is spent on this and an overview of the exams that will be taken. Find the OER for your course here.

Search by your Crebo number (see the box on the right of this page) to view the OER for the current academic year. This will give you a general idea of what's expected of you when you start the program. The OER for the upcoming academic year will be available in July.
