If you want to progress and develop professionally, you must study at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia

Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) is a very prestigious university in Peru, since it provides a quality education for all, provides opportunities for all to develop their skills and abilities for their professional life, It provides a pleasant environment to study and dialogue with our colleagues and above all they have professors with vocation. Personally, I am very grateful for the quality teaching that they offer me, since I have been able to develop my potential, abilities, skills and discover hidden talents, which I am very grateful. I recommend everyone to study at this university, as they will obtain a quality education that will be meaningful learning for their professional lives.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
