David Cotton never imagined a career in hospitality, but a childhood passion for baking with his Nan grew into a successful career. Today, as a pastry chef and chocolatier at Alt Hospitality Group, David credits his studies at Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide with providing the technical expertise, hands-on experience, and industry confidence to launch his career. Through skills development and guidance from experienced chef-instructors, he built a strong foundation for success in professional kitchens.
Le Cordon Bleu's globally recognised reputation also opened doors David never imagined possible. “Having Le Cordon Bleu on your CV is instantly recognisable. On a working holiday in South Korea, I landed a job at a five-star hotel thanks to the school's global network.”
