Who is it for?

Our vegan diploma course is suitable for anyone with good cooking skills and some understanding of vegan ingredients. You will need some basic cooking skills to attend or to have completed our 5 day certificate course.

For non-professionals, we aim to increase your confidence with the more technical aspects of cooking and baking, as well as broadening your horizons of world flavours. The diploma can be used to help you launch yourself into the catering world, to help you start your own culinary business or simply to help you to expand your home cooking skills.

For vegan chefs training, this course will suit those who wish to learn about developing vegan menus, discovering world flavours and ingredients, and making the most of them to produce interesting savoury and sweet dishes that will appeal to all diners.

How is it run?

Our vegan diploma course covers a full range of techniques required to be an accomplished chef. It is taught over a 2 week period and repeats throughout the year. You will receive a Demuths Diploma certificate after both weeks have been successfully completed.

Over two weeks you will cover:

Module 1: Stocks, Soups, Sauces and Pasta

Module 2: Grains, Legumes and Vegetables

Module 3: Bread

Module 4: Pastry, Desserts and Cakes

We will cover vegan nutritional information, planning balanced meals, and presentation of dishes.

Course Details

• The course is limited to 8 people. The class size is kept small to maximize your personal interaction with the tutor and to ensure you have as much hands on experience as possible.
• You will work in pairs and individually, along with demonstrations from our chef tutor.
• On each day you will prepare and cook 6 to 8 recipes depending on the complexity of the day. You will receive an explanation or demonstration of the technique of each dish and then be expected to complete the dish successfully within an allotted time, with support from the tutor.
• Our chef tutor will provide positive ongoing feedback and officially sign-off on each successfully completed module. 
• You will take home a workbook of recipes including a glossary and all technical information covered in each module.
• Each day we will gather to eat some of what you make for lunch - and you're invited take home the rest!

Our Vegan Diploma will set you up to continue with your chefs training on our Advanced Diploma Course.

Not only have my cooking skills improved hugely, I have learned so much that I never knew I didn't know, and I am so grateful for the warmth, good humour and patience you have in abundance.

I've felt challenged, excited, motivated every day thanks to the amount we've been able to do and how every day was new and different

Loved it! Don't do anything different. Been the best two weeks I could possibly have had and I now feel so motivated to start up my own vegan business. Perfect! Thanks.
