Wondering why you should sign up for the classes with us? Here’s why:
- We offer a hands-on learning experience for each student in attendance – this means each of them will work on their own project (baking & decoration) No group work. We also only teach a minimum of 6 students in one class in order to ensure each student gets to understand the lesson well. This makes us one of the top choices when it comes to baking classes in Nairobi.
- We offer support and constant advice after the class in our community groups as well as physical meet-ups. We also hold a monthly baking competition for our Alumni to ensure they are constantly practicing and sharpening their skills.
- We focus on business training since we understand that most of our students have a goal of starting small baking businesses in Kenya over time. We offer advice and focus on business tips and skills that will help each student run a profit-making business.
- We have had success with various students who have taken our full course with business training and started businesses of their own. Some of our alumni who have taken our full course are show-cased below ^_^

Amari Class Guidelines: Once you pay to book and attend the class, it is your duty as a student to attend each scheduled class. If you miss any class session; it will not be repeated, though you can choose to pay for a custom one on one session just for you to make up for the class at Kshs. 3,000 (per 4 hr. session). Punctuality is a must; if you come late – class content will not be repeated for you and you will continue from where you find the class lesson plan. If you are more than 2 hours late; you will not be allowed to attend the session.
Our class sessions are practical and include hands-on learning for every aspect of the kitchen; that is mixing, baking, decorating and cleaning (dishes, table-wiping & workshop floor). Each student will be expected to do all the above – no exception. Our classes run for 4 hours; please make sure you can be able to stand for at least 4 hours. We incorporate a very small 10 minute break during cleaning only. We provide hot refreshments: hot water, coffee, tea and drinking chocolate. Each student should bring their own cold drinking water and snack if he/she prefers to do so.
