Program details

Overview

Training combines advanced patisserie techniques with the management knowledge required to run a bakery or pastry-focused business successfully. Students develop both the hands-on production skills and the operational understanding needed to oversee day-to-day business operations within the patisserie and baking sector.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to Baking and Pastry Arts Management requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with Grade 12 English (C or U); mature applicants (19 or older, without an OSSD) may sit George Brown's Admissions Assessment for English or complete academic upgrading instead. The program page states no minimum grade, GPA, or English-language test score of its own, and international applicants are directed to George Brown's general International Admissions page for country-specific credential and language requirements. Students should be aware that nuts, dairy and shellfish are routinely used in the practical labs; while food purchased for production meets provincial and federal regulations, it may not meet halal or kosher dietary requirements.

Start Date: Intakes: September (Fall) and May (Spring). In the published 2026-27 cycle, Fall 2026 classes begin 8 September 2026; Spring 2027 classes begin 3 May 2027.

DOMESTIC applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the application opens on 26 September 2026, colleges may release offers from 1 November 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027 (applications completed by that date are ranked together, and later ones are then handled first-come, first-served while seats remain), and an offer for a September start must be accepted by 1 May 2027, with the tuition deposit due in June 2027. INTERNATIONAL applicants have no fixed deadline: they apply directly to George Brown and are assessed selectively on a rolling basis until the intake is full, so a program can close early.
