3 Diploma Course Modules

Everyone can enroll to be a student in the PME Diploma Courses, as long as you meet the basic skill requirements.

The PME Professional Diploma Course is divided into three main modules – Sugarpaste, Sugar Flowers and Royal Icing & Piping Modules. Each module is a complete separate course. The modules do not have to be taken in any particular order and it is not essential to complete all Three modules.

Pre-requisite : These courses are targetted at those who wish to take their sugarcraft and cake decorating skills to the next level. We recommend that students have at least a basic knowledge of cake decorating for the Sugar Paste & Royal Icing Techniques Modules. An equivalent of the minimum experience students should have is a Wilton Course 1 Certificate. No prior experience required for the Sugar Flower Techniques Module.

 

Fee Structure: B-I-Y Students are only charged course fees (inclusive of textbook). We do not charge a high bundled fee inclusive of required equipment and tools as we think it is fair to give our students the choice to use their own tools or alternatives, thereby ensuring that students only purchase what they need, when they need it. Upon enrolment confirmation, students will be provided with an equipment list (just like in school!) Students may purchase the equipment from Bake It Yourself Store or use their own. As such, students must note that there will be costs throughout the course.

 

 

Our PME Masters Students Hall of Fame

 

Students who complete each course module will be awarded a PME Professional Diploma for the Module completed.  Students will be accessed and graded throughout the course, and will be set a final project at the end of the course. 

 

Before confirming enrolment, participants must be sure that they are able to attend all 5 lessons, as no make-up classes will be allowed for the PME Diploma Courses.

 

If students complete all 3 modules, they will also receive a PME Masters Certificate.

CHECK BEFORE YOU ENROL FOR ANY WILTON METHOD OF CAKE DECORATING COURSE OR PME PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA COURSE MODULE

 

To ensure the quality and standard of your learning experience when you enrol in any certified PME Professional Diploma Course Module, and the authenticity of your PME Diploma Certificate, Knightsbridge PME stringently monitors the standards of their courses in these 3 areas:

 

1) Course curriculum

 

2) Certified Instructor - All PME Diploma Instructors must have valid instructor certificates. Knightsbridge PME  renew instructor certificates on a yearly basis to ensure high standards of teaching.

 

3) Premises where PME Professional Diploma Course Modules are conducted - Knightsbridge PME do not allow their Courses to be taught in private homes or non authorised premises. All certified classes must be conducted in a PME Authorised Course Centre. All Authorised Centres worldwide must have valid PME Course Centre certificates.

 

Before enrolling in any PME certified courses or workshops, you have the right to ask to see your instructor's PME Authorised Instructor Certificate (which must be valid) as well as the PME Authorised Centre certificate which authorises that particular premise to teach both courses.

 

Please beware of people who claim that they are certified to conduct PME Professional Diploma Courses in the premises of their private homes or in premises unauthorised by PME. Certified PME Instructors can conduct PME courses only within PME Authorised Centres and in the country that they are certified to teach. If any one of these conditions are not met, your PME Diploma Course certificate may not be authentic.

 

The Bake It Yourself Store's PME Course Centre Certified is posted at our Store. Please feel free to view it when you attend our classes.We also guarantee that all our PME Diploma instructors have valid instructor certificates from the relevant authorities.
