Methodology
The demonstration classes
These are the main scenario of the transmission of knowledge in the
school. As the Chef develops the recipes of the programme, he explains
the techniques and shows the students the steps to be followed in the
practical sessions.
The recipes serve as support for the teaching of techniques and are the
basis for the development of the skills of the future professionals.
Le Cordon Bleu Madrid is equipped with three demonstration classrooms
with a fully equipped, where the chefs deliver their explanations.
To follow the demonstrations in detail the student has screens distributed
around the room and a sloping ceiling-mounted mirror, which reflects the
chef’s worktop.
The session ends with a tasting that helps students educate their palate
and develop their skills in the decoration and presentation of dishes.
The practical sessions
Tutorials
After the demonstration class, the students practice the techniques they
have learned through by replicating individually what they’ve seen in the
demonstration.
The tutorial system is designed to accompany students in their academic
development, identifying their strengths and weaknesses and the areas
needing special attention and improvement.
These classrooms have a maximum capacity of sixteen students with a
work-position for each one.
These are carried out during each certificate through personal interviews
and by monitoring the action plan of every student.
They are equipped with advanced professional systems and equipment
where students are working under the direct supervision of the chef.
This plan includes not only improvement actions in the short term, but
also the way the student will approach best his professional future.
Each piece of their work is evaluated at the end of each class. Aspects such
as mastering the techniques, organization and cleanness of the workplace,
as well as the final result regarding presentation and the flavour of the
plate are valued. The goal of this continuous evaluation is to monitor each
student throughout their learning process.
The students have free access to the teaching and academic staff their
teachers and support staff of the School for any queries they might have.

Our Chefs
From tradition to
modernity, the
gastronomic wealth we
have inherited is now more
valuable than ever. The
preserving and sharing of
this legacy is essential for
gastronomy to continue
to move forward with the
meaning and dimension it
deserves

inspires and guides students even after graduation. Le Cordon Bleu Chef
aims to become a master.
The teaching-Chefs are selected after a thorough analysis of their
professional curriculum and after accomplishing several practical tests.
They also go through a process of internal training until they reach the
level set for professional teaching in our schools network.
This training is complemented at the UFV by updating programmes in
technical and teaching skills.
The professional future of the student
Those students that through dedication and effort obtain the level required
by the team of chefs, have the possibility to apply for an internship in
restaurants, bakeries, hotel chains and catering companies, once they

High Bakery Diploma
The hands of the craftsman and the heat of the oven are the origin of the bread that presides at the
table of numerous homes. Mixing everyday ingredients such as grain, water, salt and yeast has been
instrumental in the development of cultures around the world for centuries. However, today, bread
has gone from being a staple to become the protagonist of many gastronomic proposals.
Therefore, and considering the growing demand for craft and fresh products, Le Cordon Bleu Madrid
has designed the High Bakery Diploma: a programme where techniques and new technologies come
together to improve and professionalize processes, preserving all the tradition of the trade.
This programme presents an overview through raw materials and basic techniques of high bakery
and selected pastries. The diploma starts with the Basic Bakery, a programme that starts with the
study of cereals, flour and ferments. The student will be introduced in the process, experimenting
with the fabrication of natural yeasts, through to baking the crustiest of breads.
Through a practical session’s methodology, a solid understanding of the fundamentals of High Bakery
and professional terminology will be achieved, culminating their knowledge with the Advanced
Bakery programme.
It is a programme of six months consisting of two certificates: Basic Bakery and Advanced Bakery. Like
the other programs, it can be attended via separate certificates.

The degree in Gastronomy of the University Francisco de Vitoria
was born as a project of integral formation, which pursues the
development of management and leadership skills of future
professionals of gastronomy, catering and hospitality. Its
approach, guided by the vision and experience of Le Cordon
Bleu in the field of haute cuisine and hospitality, promotes the
international projection of the student, within the ambit of a
sector that increasingly demands high-level training in its teams.
The curriculum, designed around the areas of business, food,
hospitality, arts and sciences, offers a multidisciplinary education
that includes teaching and learning in three languages: Spanish,
English and French. Thanks to the support of the international
network of school Le Cordon Bleu, the Degree in Gastronomy
offers the possibility to study part of their degree at universities
in other continents, such as the University of South Australia and
the Anahuac Universities of Mexico.
The structure of the degree proposes that students have two years
of common training, which culminates with a specialisation in two
possible areas: “Haute Cuisine” and “Hotels and Restaurants”.

Mahtab Mohsenpour
Cuisine Diploma
It is a very tough program, the exams are very important and the course
must be taken seriously, dedicating time to it, but it is possible, and certainly
worthwhile. It is a personal challenge and you decide how much you want to
get out of it and just how big you can make the experience. The commitment
of the teachers is unconditional and, in the end, it’s amazing to realize how
much you have changed and everything you’ve learnt.
Here you’ll learn everything.
They teach you that, whatever
challenge you take up,
you´ll be able to overcome
it. I would recommend it to
anyone who likes cooking and
really wants to learn.

Living in Madrid
We recommend several alternatives for our students to choose from so they can find whatever suits them best:
If a student wishes to live as close as possible to the School, we

Aravaca and Las Rozas.
These are the nearest districts to le Cordon bleu Madrid. The student
will save time, since he/she will get to the school quickly and will live in
a more relaxing environment than the City center. The prices in this area
are not that high especially taking into account that it is one of the best
areas in the Community of Madrid regarding entertainment and living
quality.
