courses to become a Baker

Hi,
The first option is to do a course in hotel management at a reputed professional institute.
~ The 19 institutes registered under the National Council of Hotel Management provide excellent training in the field.
Apart from these, there are institutes run by reputed hotel chains and some private institutes with foreign affiliations and approvals from the All India Council for Technical Education.
~ Institutes under the national council offer a 3-year diploma course while private institutes offer a four-year Bachelor's programme.
For a 3-year diploma course, the following are a good bet:
Army Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology in Bangalore
Oriental School of Hotel Management in Kozhikode
Merit Swiss Asian School of Hotel Management in Ooty, Nilgiris
~ Courses run by reputed hotel chains are considered more credible because of the infrastructure, the faculty they provide and the future prospects they offer. They are the best bet in terms of exposure to a working hotel and they enable one to imbibe the exacting levels of service. One may also be absorbed by the parent company post the training.
These institutes are run by three premium hotels graded as best in this category:
The Taj Group's Institute of Hotel Management at Aurangabad
Oberoi School of Hotel Management in New Delhi
Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration in Manipal
~ Another option is to train at a renowned institute abroad (scroll down for list of institute recommendations).
The pros of joining a professional institute is that many of them have campus placements. One is likely to command a higher remuneration and work with better industry brands. You are instructed in various hospitality disciplines; this knowledge could come to use when starting your own outfit.
