Introduction
The Art of French & Italian Pastry Arts Diploma is a highly practical program taught at the outstanding facilities of École Ducasse – École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie Française, in the iconic Chateau de Montbarnier located at Yssingeaux in France, and ALMA the School of Italian Culinary Arts, in the beautiful Ducal Palace of Colorno in Italy.
You will spend 4 weeks in each location to fully immerse yourself in the culture and techniques that make French and Italian pastry renowned throughout the world.

The program is limited to a maximum of 14 students and covers a full range of pastry and dessert arts creation—from traditional biscuits, tarts and cakes to chocolates, gelato and beyond. You’ll learn from world-leading pastry chefs and masters of their craft in hands-on lessons designed to take you far beyond the fundamentals of pastry arts.
