Yes. Each in-person student receives a personalised, signed certificate to confirm they have attended an in-person course at The Sourdough School.
Should students wish, then they are added to our graduation board. We have trained many hundreds of people to bake. However, this is the first year of the board, and we are excited to see people graduating and putting their knowledge to use; please see the early days of our new Graduation Board Once students have demonstrated they understand all the principles that have been taught and are able to apply these in producing a sourdough loaf.
At the end of the in-person course, students complete a worksheet and undergo a practical assessment. This is definitely not an exam! But we do take the certification quite seriously so that each student can celebrate the fact that they have a diploma from The Sourdough School. We are here to guide you through the whole course and ensure that every student leaves the school confident and equipped to bake the most delicious sourdough bread.
At the end of the online courses students have to produce and edible exam. This is an example of a graduation recipe, which is then shared with all student in the school
