Australia is Le Cordon Bleu's academic hub and part of an international expansion story starting in 1984. In the same year, Adelaide hosted the first Australian Symposium of Gastronomy, reflecting growing confidence in its cuisine. In 1992, Le Cordon Bleu Australia commenced operations, taking a bold new direction to transform Le Cordon Bleu into a global education leader. The programs developed in Australia broadened Le Cordon Bleu's traditional cuisine and patisserie focus to offer higher education management training in hospitality, hotel, tourism and event management, and gastronomy. A continuing core strength of Le Cordon Bleu's operations in Australia is its partnership with respected tertiary education providers. Today, Le Cordon Bleu Australia offers vocational, undergraduate, and postgraduate study programs in its own right and partnership with other tertiary institutions. Each year, approximately 2,000 students from more than 20 countries study with Le Cordon Bleu Australia at its campuses in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth. Le Cordon Bleu Australia (LCBA) is accredited as a higher education institution by the Tertiary Education Quality Standards Authority (TEQSA). It can deliver and award advanced diplomas, bachelor's, and master's degree courses. Le Cordon Bleu established a presence in Australia in 1992 when it signed a tripartite agreement with the International College of Hotel Management and TAFE SA to deliver the International Diploma of Hotel Management. This was a very significant agreement as the qualification had previously only been offered in Switzerland. As part of this arrangement, students had the opportunity to be awarded the Le Cordon Bleu Diplôme Culinaire d'Hôtelier, with this partnership arrangement lasted for over ten years. Soon after this, Le Cordon Bleu gained training providers registered with the Accreditation and Registration Council of SA under the Vocational Education, Employment and Training Act, and the Education Services for Overseas Students Act. This registration allowed Le Cordon Bleu to recruit domestic and overseas students and to have its courses accredited. From these beginnings, Le Cordon Bleu Australia grew to include campuses in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. Today Le Cordon Bleu Australia is registered to deliver a broad range of vocational and higher education programs in its own right and partnering with other highly respected, credible, and quality tertiary institutions, which has from the beginning been a central component of the Le Cordon Bleu business model - a model that continues to drive business expansion today. Our academic materials are developed by our expert professional educators and select partner institutions in consultation with the industry. They are based on the latest research and incorporate an exciting blend of knowledge and practical skill development. All Le Cordon Bleu study programs have been designed with a component of work-based learning. These experiences provide you with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills you have gained in classroom contexts and to reflect upon your strengths and future career aspirations. They enable you to start building your industry reputation and professional networks. While you are studying, our Le Cordon Bleu Industry Engagement team will work with you on a range of career development activities that will help you develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors to manage your life, lifelong learning, and work in an autonomous and planned manner. But this is not where our relationship with you ends. Once you graduate, you will continue learning with us through professional development activities coordinated through our global Alumni network. In Australia, you can choose to 'mix and match' your study locations by completing part or all of your study program in one of four locations - Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane.
