The Bread Ahead Academy


The Bread Ahead Academy is the latest development in our teaching journey. Our six month training programme is designed to create the next generation of professional bakers through theory and practical education and assessment, as well as the opportunity to apprentice in the Bread Ahead Bakery

For three months, students will undergo training in our purpose-built bakery classroom, immersing themselves in the bustling environment of a professional bakery. The bakery will serve as a backdrop to their training before students transition to the second phase, where they’ll actively engage in bakery operations. Classes will run Monday to Thursday at our Borough Market location.

During the second phase, students will delve into bakery and retail operations under comprehensive guidance, covering every aspect of the process. This pivotal stage ensures graduates emerge with a thorough understanding and practical experience in artisan bakery operations. Each student will receive personalised mentorship from one of our Bread Ahead expert bakers throughout the programme, ensuring their continuous growth and success.
