The learning experience

A focus on theory

Theory lessons at Lavonne are intensive and form an integral part of this programme. Students take a formal examination after every module, as well as complete internal assessment projects regularly.

Regular assessment

At Lavonne, learning is but a means to a significant end. Regular assessments take place in the form of projects, record book journaling, and assignments, scrutinised and graded by our in-house chef-instructors.
