Whether in one of our full-time certificate programs or a short-term Continuing Education course, students are personally mentored by master chefs whose goal is to transmit their passion, knowledge, and commitment to their students to continually elevate the art of pastry.

The French Pastry School has ongoing relationships with premier hotels, resorts, restaurants, bakeries, and other establishments all over the world. Some examples include The Ritz-Carlton Group Worldwide, The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, and the Fairmont Hotels for placing students in pastry positions. Other graduates have opened their own businesses in the Chicago area and elsewhere around the United States.

The benefit to you is the quality of exposure to these chefs with their many years of experience all over the world and in many different settings. Chefs who have won countless competitions.
