Introduction to Plant Baking
The Federation of Bakers, in conjunction with Leeds Thomas Danby College, runs a 2-day Introduction to Plant Baking Course. This course has been well received by candidates who have praised the course
content and the insight it has given them of the baking process and methods of
production.
The next course will be held on 3-4 July 2008. Should you wish to attend or nominate any personnel please contact: caroline.ford@bakersfederation.org.uk
The content of the course focusses on bread and roll production and gives a
practical introduction to the bread making process in the plant baking industry. It
aims to give candidates a sound knowledge of the effect on the finished product
of
ingredients, process technology and process control. The focus is on
understanding quality, faults and their causes, fault analysis techniques, problem
solving
paths and solutions.
The course is based around an interactive learning approach with delegates
actively involved in the whole of the bread making process, each making a loaf of
their own. This is supported by some theoretical work into ingredients and their
role
in the baking process, quality and measurement and the possible faults and
what
causes them.
This course is aimed at staff who would benefit from an overview of the baking
process such as sales or account management, technical, engineering/maintenance
staff, new managers, managers from non-production disciplines or Production
supervisors.
Cost: £498 + VAT for members, £598 + VAT for non-members
Accommodation: Hotel accommodation is not included, but a list of recommended
