About INBP

Professionals may take advanced courses in bread baking, pastry, chocolate, ice cream making, and snacking at the school. The Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (France’s best artisans) as well as World Champions come to INBP to share their knowledge.

Adults with no prior experience in the industry can also take the French state diplomas in bread baking (CAP Boulanger), pastry-making (CAP Pâtissier), or chocolate and confectionery (CAP Chocolatier) (CAP Chocolatier Confiseur). These are short-term courses that last only four and a half months.

Every year, 15% of the INBP’s student population consists of foreign nationals, all of whom want to follow in the footsteps of France’s best famous chefs in their chosen profession. French culinary knowledge is in high demand all over the world, and students who choose the French in Normandy /INBP foundation curriculum are already well on their path to future success!
