Program overview
The Baking and Pastry Arts diploma at SAIT in Calgary turns a passion for baking into a professional craft. Over two years you’ll master artisan breads, pastries, desserts, cakes and chocolate work in professional kitchens, alongside food safety, nutrition and business skills. An additional program fee applies.
With extensive hands-on production and a practicum, graduates launch careers in bakeries, patisseries, hotels and restaurants — or their own businesses.
