Content

This intensive course is designed for career changers who have no previous knowledge of ice cream making. You will be taught the latest techniques to become a skilled ice cream maker and work with high-quality raw materials.

 

The ice-cream maker produces and sells a very diverse range of ice cream products:

· Ice cream, sorbet…

· Frozen desserts, ice cream bars…

· Frozen entremets

· Basic pastry preparations

· Plated desserts

· Decorations, working with sugar and chocolate, ice sculpture

 

 

Ice cream makers must comply with health and safety regulations and current legislation. They also have an artistic sense and know how to use raw materials and additives, as well as the associated techniques.

 

Our teaching methods are designed to combine techniques, hygiene standards, and a taste for excellence, to make you immediately employable. The courses will be taught by a team of instructors holding a diploma in ice cream making and by our Executive Chef, Ice Cream World Champion and Meilleur Ouvrier de France Glacier.

 

The practical work and associated knowledge place the student in conditions close to the company and confront him with the professional reality. The courses take place in the form of demonstrations, practical work, experimental workshops, and theoretical courses.

 

 

  • Through this eight-month (1,073 hours) program, you will receive six months of practical training and academic education, supplemented by two professional internships of four weeks each.
