We receive students form across India, and all our courses are open to complete beginners without any kitchen experience. However, candidates to professional programs must be over 18 years, understand English, and have a minimum education of 12th grade or equivalent. We have a simple application process and our coordinators will guide you every step of the way. In case of any special requirements or difficulties, please tell us in advance so we can determine whether our academy is suitably equipped to serve you best.

The Diploma course is for a total of 960 + hours, spanning across 5 and half months.

Each year we have 2 intakes for the Diploma course. One in January and the other in June. The applying candidate is to request for the application form via email to begin their admission process. It is imperative for the applying candidate to know that admissions for the said Diploma batch fill up at least one year in advance.

Both food and accommodation for the students, is something we do not provide presently. However, since we are situated in the heart of the city, there are many eateries and restaurants in the vicinity to accommodate the same. We also have our own café in the ground floor that serves some delectable food and drinks, that our students can make use of. Please also note, that the students are allowed to taste and take home their creation for the day.

Seats for each Diploma batch tend to fill up fast and are often booked a year before commencement, so it's important to plan your course as much in advance as possible. If you would like to sign up for a future batch that isn't yet listed, please get in touch and we'll keep your record on file.

We assist interested candidates in finding internships at 5-star or stand-alone establishments across India. We also assist more experienced alumni in finding job opportunities. Securing the position through interviews, and related stipends/salaries, are based on the external establishment's processes.

The entire diploma program spans for a period of about 5 and half months. If time or resource is a constraint, we have several shorter professional courses like the 6 Weeks Course in Bangalore & 8 Weeks Course in New Delhi. If you're still unsure, best to get in touch with us, and maybe try one of our 1-day Weekend Courses. Students often find that trying Weekend Courses are great mini-sample of the kind of subject matter and teaching approach at Lavonne Academy, before signing up for a longer learning commitment.

The Diplôme de Pâtisserie course is a holistic hands-on training program in both baking and pastry. We have a 4 Week Artisanal Breads program that focuses purely on baking, breads and boulangerie.

While most of the program is focused on hands-on training, there are also demonstration classes, theory classes, tasting sessions, evaluation, assignments, special soft-skill & design classes, field trips, and event projects. This gives our students a large library of knowledge, and the ability to apply that knowledge in their business or career. At the technical level, our instructors also reinforce information like appropriate storage temperatures and techniques, hygiene, recognising fresh produce, and the science behind various ingredients.

Each weekend class accommodates 12-18 students depending on the facility's capacity. Your seat is secured after fee payment and confirmation from our coordinators.

Our weekend classes are structured to be accessible to absolute beginners as well, you do not require any prior knowledge or skills in baking & pastry. But as with learning any skill, general enthusiasm and creativity go a long way! No preparation is required either, however you may bring along a small box to carry your creations back home.

Our classes are planned around a specific number of registered participants, we regret that once you miss a scheduled class, it's not possible to switch to a new one. If you think you'll be unable to make it to a class, inform us at the earliest, and we'll do our best to accommodate a cancellation request.

Lavonne’s Six-Week Certification course is designed for those who are looking to pursue a professional pastry arts course, but do not have the time or resources to take up our full diploma. It covers what we think of as the core foundations of baking and pastry, in as short a time as possible. Certification for the Six Week Course comes exclusively from Lavonne, not from City & Guilds London.

Internships or placements are only considered for the ‘Diploma de Patisserie’ course. We do not provide internships or placements for the ‘Six Week Certification’ course.
