●Confectionery Arts and Management Course (2-year program)
In the first year, students learn the basic techniques and knowledge of all kinds of Western confectionery, Japanese confectionery, and bread making. In the second year, students enroll in one of the following classes to enhance their skills and professionalism: "Confectionery Comprehensive Class," "Bakery and Café Comprehensive Class" or "Western Confectionery Master Class". *The class for the second year should be decided during the first year of study.
●Confectionery Hygienist Regular Course (1-year program)

Curriculum Features
●"Theory + Practice + Cultivation" unique program
Rather than simply memorizing recipes and techniques, students learn the theory of such things as properties of ingredients and the meaning of heating, and then improve their skills through practical training, while also deepening their knowledge of the background and culture of confectionery. By learning confectionery and baking comprehensively, students acquire the ability to create their own original recipes.
●Teachers that also work on TV and in the media
The Tsujiсho Group has 500 teachers. As there are so many of them, if you have any questions, you can ask them at any time. Teachers also research cutting-edge pastries and bread on a daily basis, winning awards at world-class competitions and appearing on TV and in the media.
●Authentic Equipment and Ingredients
The practice rooms, designed for each kind of confectionery, Japanese confectionery, and baking, are equipped with the same equipment used by professionals in the real workplace. Also, in our classes we use the real products, not substitutes for high-quality ingredients.
