Specialist Vocational Qualification in the Bakery Sector

An amazing group and the latest knowledge from top professionals are the best things you could ask for. It is worth driving from Oulu or even from Rovaniemi. The training is worth every kilometer.

Competing fascinates me. When you have trained a lot, you know exactly what to do next. But in the final, everything suddenly becomes a surprise. On the evening before the semifinal, you have to think about the recipes and whether the timing will work. In the final, you just have to focus on what you are doing — nothing else matters. I also want to continue studying and developing my skills.

I am planning to apply for an internship abroad to improve my language skills and gain international experience for the future. At Sampo, the studies can be personalized so that preparing for and participating in competitions can be part of the training.
