In 2009, a chocolate-making workshop, featuring a professional French chocolate-maker, was included in the bread and cake-making department.
2010 will see the creation of a 4th area of skills: catering and floor service, with the development of a new programme and the construction of an inn where students can put theory into practice. In addition, a voluntary Vietnamese oenologist plans to give several initiation classes.
