How long does the pastry training course take?
Our course programs vary depending on the training content you will attend in line with your level and goal. We have trainings ranging from 1 day to 5 days. We create the most useful and professional training plan for you and determine the most reasonable durations together.
What does the course content include?
The course content starts with the beginner level boutique pastry training curriculum, first we explain the basic stages such as how to plan a production process, what the route plan should be when you receive an order. Then we move on to the baking part with the introduction and explanation of the equipment to be used in the training, we personally convey the application of each stage with a very detailed explanation from the very basic. Our basic trainings are very detailed programs prepared assuming that you do not know anything, they include all the tricks and explanations.
If you are a professional pastry chef and would like to take part in our programs to improve yourself, you can easily join our Advanced and Technical Trainings.
Is a certificate given at the end of the course? Which certificate is given?
Yes, we will present you with a globally valid certificate of participation (one certificate of participation to prove your qualification) appropriate to the level of the program you have attended.
You can find the details in our International Pastry Certificate article.
What equipment is required for the course?
If the participant is going to participate in our workshop trainings, every detail from A to Z and the equipment he/she will use are prepared for him/her, the student who will participate sees the equipment in person and gets to know it while practicing and can get one-on-one support from us while procuring his/her own equipment during the process, we share all the details of the full list of suppliers and material vendors with all the students who participate in our trainings.
If you have participated in online training, we share material lists in our online trainings, introduce the equipment to be used in the training and share every detail with our students, such as domestic and foreign brand equivalents. We also provide personal consultancy when purchasing materials in our online trainings.
Are there any prerequisites for the course?
Our programs include different levels, so we determine the most appropriate content for each participant together and there is no prerequisite limit in this direction, but we explain in detail that a student who does not have a basic level should not attend an advanced level pastry training.
There is no age limit in our trainings, we have had participants who are very young but talented at the age of 16 or 59 who are devoted to this profession and want to improve themselves, what we take into consideration is whether the individuals can adapt to the process or we think that everyone has a hidden talent that they have not noticed before. We know that every individual who participates in our training programs can gain competence.
Is there a kitchen where we can practice during the course?
In our workshop practical trainings, our students can experience the process by practicing and receive practical training with the help of our experienced instructors throughout the training process.

What products will we be able to make at the end of the course?
Our students can complete the process by mastering all the product and decoration techniques in the boutique pastry field. A wide range of products such as cake making with all its details - layered cake work and carrier installation, side products; cupcake-cakepop-oreo-meringue making and meringue tower preparation - macaron-cookie-French Pastry Products - Chocolate Bonbon Making are offered to our students, and we can also increase the product alternatives depending on their own special requests.
How much does pastry training cost?
In fact, the cost of education varies depending on the course program they will attend, we currently have varying education fees starting at 450 TL, but it is necessary to discuss in detail with the person who will attend and ask whether they will receive online education or workshop group education? It is necessary to determine these details and finalize the content of the education they will receive and convey the most accurate information.
Is there a limited capacity for the course?
Yes, in our workshop trainings, we have classes with a maximum of 10 people depending on the program they will attend, and our workshop trainings fill up very quickly. For example, in the Concept Pastry Training, we provide training with a maximum of 5 people because the training is both very long and includes a lot of techniques and products, so we create a class where we can work one-on-one with all our students, feeling comfortable. However, the Cake Types and Buttercream Techniques Training lasts 2 days and since we only focus on cakes (without side products), we can create a class with 7 people.
Are there any advanced courses we can continue after the course?
First of all, we discuss in detail what are the student's goals during the education process? What kind of path do they want to follow and try to understand the personal style they want to create, after the education is over, we ask them to practice and be sure of the education process they received and the products they worked on. Then, if yes, they have created a style in line with the techniques they have seen in this field and want to progress, we support the process with our Advanced Level Trainings in the 2nd Stage, because the Boutique Pastry Sector is one of the sectors that constantly renews and develops itself, therefore the new techniques and practices that the person adds to themselves will always make them privileged in their current position.
