With the newly created digital course, you will be able to acquire the knowledge and relevant skills through self-study.
No prior knowledge is required for the module “Confectionery Level 1”, as you will learn the various raw materials, work techniques, equipment and tools, how to make confectionery products, and much more thoroughly and from scratch.
The program consists of approximately 155 hours of self-study and can be added with a Campus Week of instruction at the Richemont Craft School in Lucerne.
