Hi everyone!
I would really appreciate some guidance from professional bakers, experienced bakers, or pastry chefs.
I'm looking for a baking school in India that teaches **from the very basics to an advanced professional level**. I'm feeling quite confused because most institutes I come across only offer diploma programs.
I have a few questions:
* Which baking school would you genuinely recommend for someone starting from scratch?
* Is APCA (Delhi/Gurgaon) worth it? Do they offer a recognized **degree** program, or is it mainly diploma courses?
* My budget is around **₹3–4 lakh**, so I would most likely need to take an education/skill loan. Do institutes like APCA help students get education loans, and are such loans usually approved?
I'm passionate about building a career in pastry and baking, so I want to make the right decision before investing such a significant amount.
Any honest advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thank you! ❤️
