Students who request an annual school certificate must pay the enrollment fee, insurance, school materials, and the first monthly payment.

The School Board establishes three scholarships for the best students in each of the three basic pastry courses. This scholarship consists of a 50% discount on the fee of the following course, or 100% in the case of the fourth year.

Once the 4th year is completed, the students with the best grades in Display and Scientific Research Project receive a scholarship to attend two weeks at The Culinary Institute of America in New York. This year we will also offer the opportunity to do an internship in Dubai thanks to the company Ricart.

Attendance at the school courses implies the absolute obligation to wear the established uniform and tools and to accept the internal regulations and the economic-administrative conditions of the school. Students in the 2nd, 3rd, and M.A.P. courses are advised to combine their studies with work in a pastry shop.

The School Board reserves the right to change, remove, or modify any scheduled activity if circumstances require it, always respecting students’ rights. The Board will review and decide on any unforeseen cases.

Important: The school may make any changes to the academic calendar of the course due to the celebration of the Christmas fair and pastry-related festivities, in order to adapt the schedules to the needs of the school.
